I know I've have seen this coin before....however I'm at a loss...to id. Can someone ID the coin? Thanks in advance .

I cherry picked this 1891 o over Horz. O seated liberty dime. Its an R-6 rairity . https://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1891o_109page.htm

All in all 2022 was a pretty good year...for this collector. I had a half dozen articles published in Error Scope. Managed to learned a lot of new information about our hobby. Shared some new friends and sadly said farewell to a few. But its now 2023 a new year with new horizons. So cheers my friends to this years new discovies for us all.. Best Regards for a happy ,healthy new year.

But I must admit that I have learned to enjoy pickin holed,and some detail coins for varieties. Now whats cool is the hunt and find...here are a couple What's better than a green bean? An Emerald The half dimes are R 3 specimens the quarter heavy clashed.

I did have several cherrypicks in 22 , my best was my 1858 SLQ mule clashed with an FEC.

Now I was very happy to add to a part of my exonuma collection I aquired some more rolled elongated coins. A few quite rare... for some reason these brings out the kid in me. The ones from Grand Bend Ont. Was a vacation destination I experienced several times in my childhood. Thus they were a very cool find.

Now I do own an Acient...so it to was aquired this passed year.

One of my favourite very simple nice wear and color.

Another want filled in 2022

A $30 bid snagged me a holed but proof US 3 cent silver. And the color in hand is outstanding
