Something New? 1900 O

he posted the Full Reverse on another site so it definitely has a O mm on it

oh don't apologize, that is what these type of discussions are for. You go with the information given and create your own assumptions and then you talk them out so everyone see's everyone's point of view and then hopefully in the end we all meet in the middle. To be honest I may have thought the same thing if I hadn't already seen the full reverse he posted elsewhere. The information shown here is a little vague compared to what the other site had to work with

There are a few 1900 O's that are kind of similar. But this break really looks like a 1921 D. I am sure it's list able, and Ray Charles can see the crack in hand I think. I am more surprised that this type has not been seen and listed. With every 1900 O being looked ar for the O/CC type and the micro O I was a little surprised.

It's just a 1900 Vam-4 with a very smashed rev die. The knuckle head that cleaned it or dipped it needs a few million more brain cells minimum!!

Yeah, in that full reverse photo, I can clearly see the O over D repunched mm...... ....(The South's revenge for the war).

Good... I saved this bit of trivia (just in case there was any scoffing about the possibility of the O over D mm)..... I think that I might have read somewhere that in the late 1890s, the Philly mint prepared a few 1921 style reverse die prototypes for the Denver mint, and the train between Philly and Denver was robbed, and the dies fell into the hands of the New Orleans mint..... the rest is history and is evidenced by your coin.... I think that you should send it to LVA along with the story, (you will impress him with your historical knowledge).

edited to add:

(Then again, I could be wrong about all of that stuff.... maybe I just dreamed it)..

''Maybe it is something new.... 1900 obverse paired with a 1921 D reverse.... 1900 RPM (O over D)...''?


'I Believe With the Laws Of Relativity and Polarity ... That Stuff Could Haappen!'?


Sorry to say, but I doubt that it could or would have ever happened. By the time the Denver mint opened the New Orleans mint was already closed for several years, so when you think about it, it is virtually impossible. sorry, no O over D varieties.

LVA might add it for the horned O feature.


oh, and nice coin twohawks.

Yes VAM Addict, twohawks and I were just joking around with the O over D thing.... I figure that I better clear that up before anyone else takes it seriously.
