    I was wondering where the B mint mark is located on my new dollar ? I'm looking at it right now but cannot see it. Incuse or Raised please tell me the differences and where I can find it , thanks

    Hmm, it's funny you should mention that. I've never been able to find any mint mark on my SS 10c 1910B. I just take Krauss's word for it that it is a 'B'

    The mintmark is on the crown. Here is a picture of an incused mm.

    Thanks for the reply guys. Sadly my dollar is a bit too worn , and I cannot see any mint mark of any kind on mine. I'm taking a picture of mine right now so you guys can take a look. I love the toning on the edge , too bad someone decided to clean it at some point in time.

    More than likely it is an incused, because if you seen in the photo I posted, the 'B' is very weak. But, you have a beautiful dollar, XF-AU(Leaning more towards AU);). Can you get a close-up in the area in question?
