[QUOTE="900fine, post: 361466, member: 6036"]The jury is still out on this one. Looking at the PCGS pictures, it appears the "O" mintmark is slightly closer to the arrows than a "D" mint mark. The lower left of the "D" almost touches the rim; the "O" is well away. I think the way to get definitive on this one is to carefully measure the exact position* of the mintmark on known "O" and "D" specimens and compare to the piece in question. Perhaps that will solve the issue. The "D" mark appears to be larger in diameter. Measure the mint marks themselves. Dude.... I'm almost leaning towards an "O" at this point. [SIZE=1]* N, S, E, and W[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
