<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 115236, member: 1674"]Well, my father visited this weekend and he brought this coin with him. One of his co-workers had come across it in his father-in-laws house and had offered it to my father for $30. He doesn't collect much that isn't 20th century, so he decided to offer it to me. I paid $45, and am very happy with it! It is an o-104 and the die crack through the hundreds digit of the date is diagnostic. It is the 4th die marriage to use this obverse die (thus all the die cracks) and by the time the 104's were made the obverse die was <i>very</i> well worn. The pictures in Peterson are of a heavily-circulated looking obverse, since there just wasn't enough detail left in the die by the time the 104's were struck to have a good looking obverse. I graded it a VF35 based on that info, so I'm glad to get some other opinions in that range. Thanks for your help guys!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it is now in my type set (the non-holed one) and I am very happy with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
