    Pardon the crap photos; I don't think the seller had much in the way of basic photography skills.

    Picked this one up on eBay last night. I've been looking for an eye-appealing 38-O for quite some time that didn't break the bank or looked like a piece of numismatic roadkill.

    I like it. Looks like a bit of doubling on the O or is it a nick? Thanks for sharing @Bradley Trotter

    A solid VG, borderline fine. One of only 34 I'm missing for the series, looking for a similar specimen. Very nice indeed!

    Seems to be a nice, originally toned example. Congratulations!

    It just arrived about an hour ago. Based on my examination of the coin, I believe it to be an example of variety 101 with a repunched mintmark.

    I love the look of these. Much less busy obverse.

    Yours is great, lovely circcam look, and absolutely a repunched mintmark!

    Here's a closeup of the mintmark for those who might be interested.
