OK Have a peace dollar. Has a die crack and lamination peel. No mint mark.. so its a P right, well I was lookng at it .. and I think I see an S.. (or it could be maching doubling .. HAA HAA Im kidding.) Am I seeing things or can anyone else see it too? Do you think its just a special way all the chatter in the field is causing it to look like an S or is that really a serif? I compared it to a 1922 S I have and its in the right spot and about the right size and shape.

Can't tell from the pic but the S should be about dead center between that line and the rim. It looked like that mark you see is maybe a bit closer to the rim but can't tell much from the pic. (they could have punched it there but most are further out)
In any case p-d-s in 1922 are all worth the same and in low grade not much over melt value so it might not matter much either way.

I had one that had such a weak S that I touched it with a marker and wiped it with my finger and the remaining ink stayed around the S and made it clear and ended me questioning it, you might try that.

You could use a washable one.
I used an old permanent black sharpie but I wiped it gently with my finger right after I did it before it dried and it only left it around the S. Yea my finger was black for a while 
I left it that way since it made the S easy to see and it looked natural even with the little bit of ink highlighting the S.

Hmmm in the pic it sort of looks like a D there?
When I wiped mine it left a lot less ink. Just highlighted the mint.

I got the ink off and now I see nothing!! Go figure... Oh well good try though. Learn something new every day. If you stare hard enough you too can find Double Dies and Mint marks.

Heres what you do Get a nice coin... then focus in really good.. then slowly... oh so slowly.. spread your eye peices on a microscope. You wil be seeing double in no time.
