Description

The six in the date has a nearly vertical bar running through the lower left side of the six. My first reaction was to call it a misplaced D mint mark, however, the bar appears to be too long to be a vertical bar of the D mint mark. I do not believe that it is a die gouge as the bar has too much character. Die Markers: Obverse: None noted. Reverse: None noted.
