Notes:
"Beginning with this year the New Orleans' issues are more common. Both the 1903-P&O have high mintages, but the 1903-O has relatively better survivorship."

Strikes for these three dates are typical of the mints that made them (in other words, the O-mint will be soft)."<sup>1

The finest Uncirculated example graded by PCGS is a single MS-66.</sup>
