Jeffery2 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Is this a Misplaced mint mark? Just below and between the O and F under the word of. It looks like an O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Nope. Just damage. However, there are many repunched mintmarks in the Morgan dollars series. Die varieties by the "plethora" can be seen at: http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/Home. Look under the heading "Morgan dollars by date."

JKK Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's not uncommon for hard impacts to push up some metal around them (it has to go somewhere, of course) in this way. Some coins look like they have little volcanoes on them this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Long ago I used silver dollars as rifle targets. My little .22LR rounds at 300 feet just made a dent, nothing "volcanic." RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you had instead hit them with a hammer and nail, you'd probably have seen a different result. My .22LR rounds weren't sharply pointed, nor made of steel.
