Let's Play Coin Detective Case # 3 The 19 - - O Barber Dime

Today we have Lady Liberty on a Barber or Liberty Head dime.Once again some wing nut decided to drill Lady Liberty. All I can tell you is that she was minted in 19- - O . using the images can you tell me if she was minted in 1900,1901,1902,1903,1905,1906,1907 1908, 1909. Again you may use the images in any way needed to support your case.

Your "o " is crooked maybe why he put a hole in her ?

 

Who cares? It isn't a micro 'O'



Actually, I do not think it can be determined, unless you know all MM positions for those dates.

 

Don't be a smarty pants because you got two correct, the court cares!
Here comes da judge..... he may sock it to ya!

 

It is a 1902 o

 

Why? State your case.....

 

if you look at some 1902 o coins they have a tilted o to the left all others point to right.

 

Also there is something weird next to the o, it looks like writing but i cant tell.

 

1. I think this coin is an error too. to the left of the o I can see an E and S plus indistinct writing. STATES is on the same side as this writing. Maybe it got stamped in really hard and showed through.

 

Do we have any others whom would like to post evidence ?

 

Do you see the writing near the left of the o.

 

I do good eye... a clash or strike thru

 

thanks! was i right about the date of 1902 o too??

 

Justice is blind however I believe you have provided the correct evidence to concur ..... that yes I find you to be correct by the evidence you have provided . Great work!

 

Yay!

 

After looking at all O mint marks for that coin from 1900 -1909 I too concluded it had to be the 1902 but of course we'll never know for sure.... but I'm like 80% sure .
