Owner Comments:

A very nice coin for the AU-55 grade. When production began in 1893 the reverse die had the mintmark positioned directly over the "D" in "DOLLAR". About a third of the coins bear this mintmark position, as does this coin. Later in the year, another reverse die was provided that moved the mintmark slightly to the left to the more common position with the mintmark positioned equally distant between the "R" in "QUARTER" and "D" in "DOLLAR".
