All I see is the machine doubling on the reverse and nothing on the obverse. Chris
Welcome to the neighborhood @Jessica Reveal ! As a suggestion, you should try to learn about how coins are made at the US Mint. Otherwise, you...
…...and 1999 happened to be the first year of the State Quarter program if that means anything. Chris
The only photos I've seen are in the CPG. The Weak Strike is identified by the "82" of the date that looks like a partially grease-filled die. The...
Like @thomas mozzillo said, the Mint started putting the Philly mintmark on the dimes in 1980, but for 1982, it was mistakenly omitted on one (?)...
