Coin appears to have a 1B mint mark, but according to the Krause world coin book, the only mint marks that should appear on this coin is either AA or BB or no mint mark.

This coin appears to have a 1B mint mark, which (again according to Kruase) should be on a 1851 struck coin.

Any assistance in decifying this mystery would be helpful.

Well, it could be $150-200 if it's a gem unc. example, or near $800-1000 for even a nice AU if it has an AB mintmark.
