No "O" mintmark on it folks. Believe me, after I figured out what it was, I looked REAL hard for that mintmark. That one is going into a sleve - no banging around in the cigar box with the other lose ones for it.

How about posting a photo of it to be used for next month's highlights? :)

Actually I tried taking a photo before even posting about it, but couldn't get a decent one because of the glare from the flash. Anyone have any tips?? If so, I'll try again.
