<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 938505, member: 307&quot;]ok... just for factual accuracy</p><p><br /></p><p>There are no mint marks on ANY US coins dated 1965-1967. In 1968 the mint marks were restored. The 1968-74 coins were minted at all three mints but not every denomination in every year. For example: In 1968 nickels intended for circulation were minted at Denver and San Francisco but not Philadelphia. The proof nickels were minted at San Francisco and feature an unmistakably different finish. </p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time you may find a proof coin in circulation. Odd, but true. Even in a fairly worn state you can still tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 1968 nickel with no mint mark it is possible for a die to fill with grease leaving a coin that may be missing letters or parts of devices. It is likely that your coin is one of these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another possibility is that a mint employees was overly aggressive when polishing a die and could have removed the mint mark from the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are known examples of coins like this the most famous and collectible being the 1922 No D Lincoln Cent. You can search articles and threads here to learn more about specific coins like these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps,</p><p><br /></p><p>Noodle[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
