    Could be a "D" and that sounds like a mint mark. (Denver)

    A D means it was made in the Denver Mint, if it an O it was made in New Orleans. There were none minted at the Denver Mint in 1884 therefore it is an O.

    Average condition for this coin is worth somewhere between $25-$35 dollars. If the condition is supurb, then values goes tremendously up from there. Condition has the main critria for any coin in collecting.
