Imagine if some of our posters had ran across this in the wild. 1916 S Barber Dime MintMark enlargement shows 'micro/micro S' to the right of the 'Normal S'.
This coins is on CoinFacts, thank you PCGS.

    I think CoinFacts has a rule about that. :D

    There's someone behind the S flipping me the bird...

    Interesting .... Could easily see an inexperienced individual questioning that one Cheers, RickO

    That's awesome 😎, good find also kinda looks like something under the main S too, JMO
    Hmmm I wonder if this coin has more marks on it?
    Reminds me of a mark on the obverse 1978 Philly cent,, not saying it is but I'm thinking I remembering it being that small.
    Thanks for sharing

    He did say that, but I’m not surprised he didn’t follow through.

    @SlickCoins "I hope we are all good"

    You should do a poll thread "if you should stay" or "if you should go"

    Back to the original topic --
    I don't see anything. Are you guys talking about the stain? I'm just not that used to looking at things through scopes. Thanks, I'm still learning and just a bit confused.

    You shouldn't need a scope to see that, I certainly didn't. It's only an anomaly, not a letter. Not sure if it is a die chip, scar or what but it just looks interesting. Especially due to the quality of the coin in CoinFacts.
