1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

... This may be an oddball surface anomaly picked up by the light reflection into the lens,... That appears to be a "S" on the screen and in the images you have snapped... :mad:

:eureka:
try "spinning the coin" as you view it.
You may see this "S" appear and disappear as you rotate the coin.

It's die marks from the die being polished to remove contact marks. An actual S would be a dropped letter and struck into the coin and would have to be the same size and shape and an actual S on the coin die's design.
