I like how the O privy mark just looks like an "O"

The single initial allowed the mint to make the privy berm™ vertical rather than horizontal, resulting in a privy that really just kind of looks like an "O", albeit slightly stylized. Compare and contrast with the "CC":

    You’re saying the “O” looks like an “O”. Weird!

    I do see your point... almost like an O from the Orleans mint.... Interesting. Cheers, RickO
