Anyone have the markers for this one? I got one from ebay, and I serously can not see the extra S anywere. Maybe it is too faint? I dont know, but the markers would be nice to better help me in identifying if the coin is the OMM.

Gabe: Die scratches on Obverse are NE/SW over most all the fields in LDS. Reverse die scratches are NW/SE with a few in the center E/W. Nice strong parallel ones run through STAT of STATES, running NW/SE.

Its not the one with the S under the 19 #1 is it? It is more valuable that #2. The location of your mintmark is it wrong? Then it would not be from that die. The markers come and go with use, so markers maybe different especially if from an earlier die. The later die state of this one (#2), the S is stronger. Taking an image of it took me quite a few minutes to place it just right so the RPM could be seen. So if the LOCATION of the RPM is right, then go from there.
