Silver Morgans
What is the P engraved on the front of my 1897 silver dollar?
I have a 1897 silver dollar was minted in New Orleans (Designated S in the back of the room). However, on the forehead of freedom in the cheek of the lady is an engraved letter P. It takes place just below the eye to her chin, but does not cover up any of the lines of his face. Any ideas how and why it's there, and if it is one of many "mistakes," prone to Morgan silver dollars? The piece is in pretty good condition is not much, but the metal has darkened over the years.
There was no mint mark P in those days. I would recommend the piece to a local expert or two pieces for evaluation. The play would be interesting to $ 50 to $ 1000 may be based on your description of wear, but the "P" could actually decrease the value of the coin. There is an error known as an error encountered die where the two dies are damaged without breaking the blank between them, and the parts that followed the damaged image of death. It's not really resemble what happened in your case, but it is possible. Again, an expert in local currency or two would be your best help, or you can post a photo here. I hope that.
