<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 4577550, member: 5233&quot;]Now that I have read what others have to say...I need to point out that I missed the altered 3.&nbsp; Not because I didn&#039;t see it...but I was looking so hard at the fields and looking for any kind of &quot;mint characteristic&quot; I could deduce...I simply overlooked it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree, the 3 was altered from an 8.&nbsp; So, it could only be a P/O/S minted coin.&nbsp; While the 1893-S is the most valuable 93...all 1893 coins are worth significantly more than their 1898 counterpart and an 1893-O is less likely to arouse draw attention.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to stick with my original O mint belief based on the fields and devices looking to have a looser quality control.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, I admit I &quot;missed the forest for the trees&quot; in this case.&nbsp; Final answer is 1898-O altered to look like a 1893-O.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
