There is an Overton number for that variety…..

I'll let Jordy tell the story ... but suffice it to say ... told you Bro'!
Also, I absolutely want to know when you have it in hand!!

Subtle but effective.
I laughed out lol 😂😂😂
BHNC #248 … 140 and counting.
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..
Already planning what to do with all the wealth and fame I'll receive once I share it with the world (YouTube)
Pfffft
plot twist.....it's a broken R punch!
nice unusual counterstamp
BHNC #203
Maybe it fell out of the feathers, there could be more! Peace Roy

Well that is unique.... Can we see full views of the coin? Cheers, RickO
I definitely will once I have it in my hands.
👍
"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.

That is cool as F
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.
So, that coin has been F'ed with?

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