This came out of a low end "antique" store today. It was in a sealed cellophane packet, not unlike what U.S. proof coins were shipped in during the late 1950's into the early 1960's. I suspect it was at some point a mail order item.

EF details
unfortunate fire she was in I'd say or stuck in the ground for a long time.

The "S" is peculiar to me. The reverse of the issue is either a small "s" or a Med "s". This one will require some studying.

There's always a magic eight ball. Often times in life when I am confused I simply shake it and agree with whatever it says...

Take a closer look at the mint mark...and compare to;

https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...fs-501-1976/

"A small S is seen perfectly centered within the loops of the Large S mintmark."

Potential 1891 S MED/SM S 10C TOP-100 F-105, FS-501
