I’ve looked at a number of coins in similar grades and the “s” seems to migrate around slightly on various slabbed examples. I found one PCGS example that looks like a match. What say you?

    Looks good to me. The 1916-S also has, in my experience, mintmarks that are crisp and clear vs. ones that are more blobby. At this grade level it might not make so much difference.

    It looks legit to me, unless you equate “legit” with “Gem”. 😉

    Thanks for the quick responses. I got this in a junk lot by dumb luck.

    That what they would have looked like if they were pulled out of circulation in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

    All glory is fleeting.
