Cool. If we're gonna do World... Constantinople mintmark Ditto The mintmark on this one is an eglantine (a small rose at the top- hard to see) The famous "Mo" mintmark of Mexico City NR= Nuevo Reino de Granada (Bogotá, Colombia) S= Sydney, Australia S= San Francisco, USA ПЛ= Saint Petersburg, Russia (called Leningrad at the time)- the mintmark is on the edge of the coin A= Berlin, Germany Ditto
Great cherrypick. Scratch or not, you can't beat that for 8.3 cents! Usually any Victorias in a cheapo pick bin are "slick Vickies", worn within an inch of their life.
Glad to see I have an excuse to use my loupe! We got maybe 2"-3", heading to work SUCKED on the highway. It was 18 degrees on the way out, but thankfully it was all clear on the way home.
1903 was such a weird year for SF dimes. Reverse 3 with the extra fold in the right ribbon end was introduced in 1901, so you would think two years later they would all be from the newer hub. And yet the large majority of 1903-S used the "thin ribbon", like yours has, and the "correct" design is scarce.
