Yes it is about the same coin I have done a little more research and they were only made with a one off die but I have the f and a line but none of the other die marks which is making me wonder?
Have you compared your coin to the one on PCGS, exactly where the line hits the F and exactly where it hits the A? If the lines are identical then the advice in the other post is still valid, "take it to a professional or even send it in for grading."
To the best of my knowledge, this particular mark is only found on the rare SMS coins. Yours doesn’t have the teardrop mark on the obverse which would be a sure indicator for the SMS coins. So yours is really an SMS coin or just a normal one with an unfortunate scratch in the right location. If you want to realize a high value for it you’ll have to get it certified (or find out it’s not an SMS coin.
Verweis : "rsirian1" or just a normal one with an unfortunate scratch in the right location.
Or deliberate scratch?
To me yours looks thinner and deeper, just like a scratch. There's a big difference between a scratch and a die mark. The absence of the teardrop is very significant. There's only 1 known example without the teardrop, so what are the odds?
And look at the marked text in the following picture:
These kind of coins don't come accidentally into circulation, so when I look at the scratches on the 4 on your coin I have serious doubts:
But like rsirian1 says, let it certify and see what the professionals say.
