PennyMan1001 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 This mintmark looks added to me. I have attached 4 pictures showing that S appears to be added to coin to create ultra rare 1931-S. I drew black mark arrows in the pictures indicating the presence that this coin had a mintmark added to coin. The area around the mintmark is disturbed. You can also see tooling marks in forgers attempt to blend mintmark into field. Also there is a seam where added S and field come together. In addition the coloration and texture of the mintmark does not match the numeral digits in the date. Overall you can see that the S is just sitting on the coin and not part of the original coin. please let me know your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Hale Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have one similar to this & I believe if I’m not mistaken a mint error happened when they were striking the mint upside down. You can google it, but it does look similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
