mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 11/06/2016 6:07 pm Great date but pretty worn. Only 1 1/2 years detecting and coin experience, but I think this may be my best find so far. Report this Post to the Staff

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 11/07/2016 08:50 am I'm starting to second guess whether that is a worn out O mint mark or if the toning coincidentally made it look like the letter O is there. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
