<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 858863, member: 13016&quot;]Coins minted in Philadelphia traditionally had no mintmark. It was the first mint, and since it was the only mint at the time, no mintmark was needed -- all the coins came from there! Later, when branch mints opened, they typically (but not always) put mintmarks on coins to show where they were minted, but Philadelphia just stayed with no mintmark. On very recent issues, the Philadelphia mint started using the &quot;P&quot; mintmark on some coins to help differentiate the coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, saying 1942 dime or 1942-P dime is the same thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
