    I totally vouch for the seller, Bill Elwell, not the coin. He's a person of integrity.

    But not for the coin, which is NOT a mint error.

    When you hang around the US-Philippine series for a while, you'll see proofs like this with a number punched into the reverse. No one I've ever spoken with knows who did it or why. And it's only on the 1906. Think of it as something like a chop mark -- hammered into the coin after the fact. It's of no interest to me, but if that's your cup of tea -- well then go and ...

    Enjoy yourself,

    Hello Mr Fun, Not my cup of tea either. I just did not find any reference to this type of marking and was wondering if any of the experts out there had seen anything like this. Thanks for your reply and the new knowledge you shared with me.....I love to learn at least one new thing each day. Merry Christmas.........Rick
