Can you figure it out from the obverse die?

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
It looks like a 71-cc with dentical date relation as well as shield design area
MOst likely an S, but can't rule out P. (Looking in Briggs)
That was my initial thought. Now trying to figure out if I was right. Here's an image from Heritage. In the lot description, they note that "A single die pair was used to strike all the quarters, classified as Briggs 1-A in the standard series reference. The obverse shows repunching (triple punching) on both 1s in the date. The first 1 shows evidence of two underlying 1s both below the base and at the underside of the flag (although this appears as double-punching on lower-grade coins). The last 1's peak shows two underlying punches and a three-step "notched" effect atop the right serif. Two small lumps of die rust appear to the right of the Y in LIBERTY in the drapery."

OK, so it's not Carson City.

It's pretty obvious, New Orleans.
The mintmark was handpunched right above the head, very firmly.
