    Hi guys,
    I found a 1970 Jefferson nickel without a mint mark.
    No mint mark would usually mean the coin was produced at the Philadelphia mint.
    I have seen other posts stating that there were no nickels produced in Philadelphia in 1968, 1969 or 1970.
    I guess there must be some other explanation.
    Any ideas? 1970 P Jefferson nickel-1 copy.jpg 1970 P Jefferson nickel-2.jpg 1970 P Jefferson nickel-3.jpg
    Thanks.

    Looks like it was ground off.

    I guess it makes sense. Thanks.

    It is possible your coin was struck with grease/ debris filled die at the mintmark,
    that would also make the mintmark weak or non-existant.

    I have heard that is a possibility.
    Thanks.
