    Is that + mark next to the left foot part of the design?

    I have no idea. Maybe it was put there for a "sting" operation? Maybe someone simply wanted a subtle "fingerprint" for his coins? Clearly it was done with as tiny a counterpunch made! I had a very prominent pattern collector who wanted to buy this because he was fascinated by it, but I was not selling at the time...I had to wait until a great MS66 showed up. That took looking at half of them and a year.

    The coin was quite nice...a very solid MS65.

    I think that's a chopmark. Ask TDN since you two are so tight right now. --jerry

    I've seen this picture before on these boards and as is typical with coins, once you know what to look for, it stands out like a black eye!

    For whatever reason everytime I look at a Saint anymore, my eyes immediately go to her feet! image

    I think I'm becoming a sicko..........................
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
