<p>[QUOTE="furham, post: 24559026, member: 19750"]The Micro O mint mark is only about half the size of the normal New Orleans issue. This is ironic, as numismatic expert Ron Guth points out above, because this undersize fellow was used on Barber quarters! The reason for this use was the very constricted space between the eagle's tail and the R of QUARTER. The Micro O mint mark is ROUND in shape with very thick side walls and an OVAL center. It's position is EQUIDISTANT and AWAY from the ribbon knot and denticles. The normal size mint mark is OVAL in shape with an OBLONG center. It is placed VERY CLOSE to the ribbon knot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
