<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MontCollector, post: 3770141, member: 85496&quot;]First off let me say these are MUCH better photos of the &quot;S&quot;. I was under the impression this was a raised S not an incuse one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I had to do some research on Struck Through Dropped Letter Errors.&nbsp; Interesting error but a mouthful to say. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;If I understand the error correctly the &quot;dropped letter&quot;, in this case an &quot;S&quot;,&nbsp; would have come dislodged from an S on either the obverse or reverse die that minted it. Therefore it would have to be shaped like the S that dropped it.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I read and from looking at examples from the web I would have to say this is not what you have. When comparing the S in question it does not match any other S in shape or size on this coin .&nbsp; It is much too tight and crisp compared to the others. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO your new photos make this look more like a counterstamp. In other words, it was punched into the coin in someones garage after it left the mint. It is PMD and a curiosity but nothing more sorry to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
