Collector's showcase - Pre Civil War Obverse Mint Marks

claychaserclaychaser Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭✭
Here's the "showcase" set that I am building. Anybody else collect these as a theme?

Is the 1851-O 3 cent silver mintmark on the obverse or reverse? I guess the reverse, but it is too funky not to go in this set.

    I have always considered the mintmark to be on the reverse of the trime.

    An interesting collection. Proofs and Uncs are nice to look at but well-circulated coins are more definitive of the times. That Five really saw some action. How many bars did it slide across, and will live to ripe old age thanks to coin collectors.

  • SO... YOU bought that 1839-O... image




    PM sent...

  • I also think the Trimes MM in on the reverse.
