1870 S$1 ____NGC taken photos show it 0

[Derek Bentley]

1870 S$1 once adding it to my list of coins the certification number places it in the wrong area. Ngc taken photos show the mint mark. Die markers indicate it also to be a 1870S$1.

I'm afraid that's just the illusion of an S mintmark. NGC's Explorer photo reveals that the mintmark on an 1870-S dollar is centered below the feather tip and just slightly below it:

@Derek Bentley, are you thinking that the date portion of the NGC label which reads "1870 S$1" means that this is a dollar minted in SF?   The S after the date is not for the mint but rather it stands for silver as in a silver dollar, not a dollar minted at the SF mint.   Here is one of my Morgan dollar slabs, as you can see it also has the "S$1" but the mintmark (in this case S for SF) is placed before the "S$1".

Funny how the markers are forgot. That which determines authenticity. It has the markers that what the circles show.  I could care more about it if I didn't have better. Found this 1927D the other day.

Its called a mechanical error, when the person typing out the cert info he/she left off that letter.  And thanks for the super snarky reply several months after your initial post, showing your true age I guess.

Judging by the attitude and terrible sentence structure and grammar, I would guess about 15.
