Re: Possible new finds
You said "known mintmark styles". Even if this is a known mintmark style, it tells me three things... 1. No one has investigated why the S is so misshapen. 2. No one has found a coin that shows why it is misshapen. 3. There is a common belief that things like this can't happen. No one is questionin...

Re: Collar Clash
I don't know how many times the mint worker do adjustment on the press machine. But with an average of 200k coins struck per die pair, the answer is yes.

Re: Possible new finds
I highly doubt the mint possessed a tiny "5" and a "u" shaped die stamps; then stamped them into the working die to create that S mintmark.Maybe it's a 5 and a small u.

Re: Collar Clash
Imo, that's an error due to ejection impact or die slide when the coin was ejected right after struck.Then what is it called when the denticles are called when they are mashed 1/2 way in a semicircular fashion?

Re: Possible new finds
On the obverse, on the shaft of the B is what looks like the right half of the O in DOLLAR and in the upper and lower holes of the B you can see what appears to be the left half of the vertical shaft of the first L in DOLLAR from serif to serif. The letters (B, L or O, or whichever) are the lowest ...

Re: Anyone recognize this 79-S?
The more I looked at it, the more I think it is a serious evil mimic for the reverse die.

Re: Morgan 1885-O Broken S
The mint polished the die when they prepared them. Unfortunately, sometime they polished it a bit too much. The result is some devices got thinner. Compare 85-O VAM-4 vs VAM-1C. Look at the "trust" from the full coin photo. You can definitely see that the VAM-1C is thinner than VAM-4. So as mentione...
