    It just dawned on me the other day after 20 years in the hobby I would not have been able to answer this question.
    What coin has the first "P" mintmark on a proof???
    Have fun!!!

    If it is a US coin, then perhaps it is the Birch Cent? Was it struck in specimen proof? There is a "P" in the motto Parent of Science & Industry.

    Sorry, you said mint mark. Obviously I must think some more & guess again.

    War nickel is right followed by 1999 S.B.A. Proof.
