[MintErrors]

Both conecaonline.info and varietyvista list only 2 RPMs for this year and mintmark. In my opinion, the coin listed here does not appear to be either one.

The bottom left of the mintmark here looks like damage. It looks severe enough to have removed the lower serif. There is a touch of damage on the vertical bar as well. The vertical bar also appears to be very wavy which may indicate something was going on with the minting of the coin vice a RPM.

I am seeing more negatives than positives, so my gut feelings are its damage vice a bell ringer. I did not check doubleddie.com.

Although I respect John Wexlers work, but some of his personal listings are too minor for me. I see what he is talking about but, for me to do a sales pitch for some of them - that might be an uncomfortable challenge. Same with coppercoins in my opinion. Thats why I stick with CONECA and VarietyVista.

Eric will probably come in and offer his expert opinion. As a heads up, he may want a direct on shot of the mintmark to assess/attribute the coin.
