[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 24487194, member: 78298"]The mint mark is usually very prominent, even on worn coins. Put the area under a very bright light and or a microscope (or some kind of magnification) to see what it looks like. My old sun lamp was three 150W bulbs, and with that on and my loupe, I was able to see lots of things that were not visible under normal light. Just by tilting the coin around. (Buffalo dates, etc.)[/QUOTE]
