1979 Quarter

Found this 1972 quarter in a customer roll yesterday and not positive on the mint mark. I think i see a S with a die chip in the middle. But in the 2years roll hunting iv never come across a S quarter. If so wow it would b my 1st. Well tell me what you see or think yoy see...thanks for stopping by and Happy Hunting.

Looks like it is an Impaired Proof coin with a die chip in the mintmark.
1979 had 2 types of mintmarks. SBA's also had this 2 type mintmark.
The Red Book make a note of it.

 

Thanks holy crap how did i forget 2 look in the Red Book..thanks for reminding me

 

I think I see a S but not sure. Could be a realy messed up D

 

My guess is that its a grease filled die and that its a D since its more square and not rounded looking

 

Blob S? Interesting.
I wouldn't have guessed that.

 

Im guessing not an S cus it doest hv the correct finish...darn lol

 

Looks like a D to me...

 

...it is a filled S, with wear flattening the top...imo...Spark

 

you should be reading it for 5-10 minutes every night learning stuff until you finish it, then start over again.

 

Wait, is this the rare "B" on Washington's cheek quarter? LOL

 

Looks like an S MM with a chip on it. Kind of a neat find.

 

At first I am not seeing a proof. The rims are wide and the reverse is nice,
but it appears to be a business strike.
If the mm is a blob S then it is an impaired proof.
The enlargement looks a lot more like the blob S than a D that took a hit.

 

Looks like a damaged mintmark to me.

 

You sure that's not a B on his cheek

 

After 41 years it could be almost anything, like a B mintmark for Boston. I think not.

 

I had no idea what u were talking about till i took another look...thats crazy n funny....its the lost quarter sample of Boston haha

 

well, it looks like an "S" with a die chip in the middle to me!
