    Perhaps some collector marked his coin like Dexter marked his 1804 Silver Dollar with a tiny D punched into one of the clouds on the reverse.

    I doubt it will even be visible without magnification?
    I'd like to see the Dexter mark again if anyone has a pic... wondering if they are similar sized?
    Would have to be a very tiny punch!
    I think its most likely an uncanny hit..

    I missed the tiny F at first... I was way to distracted by the major mint error below..

    "Stack’s Bowers Galleries presented Part V of the D. Brent Pogue Collection of U.S. coins on March 31, 2017. Highlighting the auction will be the famed Dexter Class I 1804 Draped Bust dollar graded Proof 65 by Professional Coin Grading Service." I always thought this to be a joke/rumor, but apparently true.

    Lol, I’d really like to hear the story behind this bust half.
    Do tell Jordy! 😬

    Some higher res images of the Dexter... does anyone know where the stamp is?

    Here's an image I found online.

  • jayPemjayPem Posts: 4,081 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow, the D is tiny too...
    I'm starting to agree with Todd, the F probably is a stamp and not a hit.
    Cool!

  • NysotoNysoto Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Cool stamp! There could be other examples. I have an 1806/5 T-1 in an extremely rare die stage with a tiny H stamp, and have also seen the same H on one other coin.

    I would have stamped it on cloud 9.

    Virtually every coin from that era has been "F'ed with" in some way.
