<p>[QUOTE="Sean The IT Guy, post: 1829639, member: 59649"]That's great info, but I'm having trouble decoding it. I'm not sure which minting this coin is. It has the doghead on the obverse, left of date and a symbol that looks like an M and W intertwined on the reverse under the eagle. I have found data for the A and B and BB mintings, but never a symbol like what I have under the eagle. I've found a W minting, but that symbol doesn't exactly look like what's pictured, either..</p><p><br /></p><p>edit:</p><p>Ohh.. the mint mark is MA, and the (d) on the page you linked indicates the doghead version. I think its starting to become clear to me. So, I guess all I don't understand now are the VF20 XF40 etc rankings. I suppose I'd need a coin expert to grade the thing for me. Anyone have any guesses where the coin pictured might land? The pictures are pretty representative. The only flaw that's not obvious from the photos are that it has a very slight bend in the coin. It doesn't lay 100% flat on the table. Sort of like a saddle bend (like a pringle chip) but very slight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
