I bought some rolls of liberty nickels from a local auction. Someone searched those puppies high and low (nothing before 1899) but they missed one!! I paid about 20 cents lol
how do i know if it's a 1912 s or d? will it say on the coin? Just wondering cuz i am seeing some on ebay and considering grabbing them
There is a possibility that it does have an added mintmark. As you can see, there seems to be a problem around the rim near the S. Can you post a closeup picture of the edge near the S?
There is the same degree of toning in the protected areas around the mintmark as the other high points of the coin and the S is consistent with others in the series. An added mint mark is never out of the question but if this coin has one it was done by a true artist.
