wilbj New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:26 pm I bought on ebay a few years ago an 1851-O 3 cent silver piece whose mint mark is way smaller than those I see doing an internet search. It was sold as 1851-P. I didn't even notice until this morning it had an "O"! Does anyone have knowledge of this? Report this Post to the Staff

I think its just damage on the coin. for comparison, here is a current auction for a 1851-O: http://www.collectorscorner.com/Pro...?id=27928745 Report this Post to the Staff
