Varieties to look for

Mint mark position

D and S sit on the reverse near the lower left, below the word ONE.

Strike quality

Weak strikes on the center of Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast are common. Sharp strikes bring premiums in Mint State.

Cleaning and cabinet friction

The fields are prone to bag marks and the high points to rub. Look for original luster.
