What is the "M" stamped in to this 1925 SLQ?

Russ

This one was in today's "hoard" purchase:



It has an M stamped in to it to the right of the date. Here's a closeup:



What is that?

Boy Russ, you thought you might have a rare one from the "Manila" mint there, didn't you?

Maybe you weren't kidding when you asked something about a '16 Merc with a "D" on it being valuable?

Russ

Well, I was hoping this was the rare chopmarked variety. Okay, so I haven't even seen an SLQ since I was a kid!

Hey, I got a kick out of it, lol Someone had posted the two varieties of a 1872-S half dime......Heck, I didn't know that. Heard it here first, is what I say.

Don't feel embarassed, Russ. I did the same thing the first time I saw one. LOL

All the SLQs (with the exception of some rare patterns) have the "M."

When Russ was a kid , the citizens of this land

were still using spanish pieces of eight and pine tree shillings.

Watch it Mr. Bear - Russ is sensitive about his age!

MacCoin, is the M on the truncation of the neck of a Morgan dollar placed there in your honor too?

You should have photoshopped it and changed the date to 1916 and asked the question about the 'M'
