I was just wanting to know if anyone has ever gotten or seen a New Hampshire quarter without the mint mark? My husband received one in change when they came out (circulated), and when I called the mint, they told me that they had not heard of this. If anyone has any information, it would be helpful. Thanks in advance, pnut
Yes...I have one too To me it looks like a filled die....I don't know if yours looks like mine or not but anyway. Are some of the words worn off too?? I would say that the mint is almost always the last one to know about some sort of bad die or anything else for that matter. One guy I asked said it might have been caught in a pop machine and the wheels ground off the mint marks--but I don't think so. Hope this helps..... Spencer
I have no way of posting a picture, Im really not computer literate. I can check and send emails, and get to this forum as far as all else..... Im in the dark, and I guess I have no equipment to post a picture as well. For the words... Well they seem to be in regular shape?
Question: If the cause of the missing mintmark is indeed a filled die, is it worth anything? If not, then are the "no-s" coins from certain proof sets the result of filled dies, or were the mintmarks just left off?? Also, I thought the 1922-Plain Lincoln was the result of a filled die, or is it something else?
The 1922 no "D" was a result of the "D" being polished off. The no "S" coins never got the "S" put onto the die. Filled dies do not bring a premium. This is such a common occurrence. If you go through about ten rolls, your odds of finding one or more are really good.
