<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2984803, member: 31286&quot;]I&#039;ll start it with this interesting issue:&nbsp; An 1840 half dollar that was minted in New Orleans but doesn&#039;t have the &quot;O&quot; mint mark because it was the first year with the mint mark on the reverse, and since at the beginning of the year they only had reverse of 38&#039; dies, they produced New Orleans half dollars with no mint mark - but definitely a New Orleans Issue.&nbsp; Later in the year they received new reverse dies that are properly marked &quot;O&quot;.&nbsp; PCGS refers to this issue as &quot;Reverse of 38&quot; and NGC as &quot;Med Letters&quot;.&nbsp; Relatively scarce - estimated 400 survivors.[ATTACH=full]735015[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]735016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
