<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1622047, member: 26302&quot;]I agree, you can see how I screwed it up. I believe bottom line sir is only the cent was supposed to have any mintmark on what you photographed. I know it seems strange today, but except for the war nickels, no coin from Philadelphia carried a mintmark from 1792 until the late 70&#039;s. This is because Philly was &quot;the&quot; mint of the US, the largest and most important for decades. Its coins were never mintmarked because it was assumed a coin was struck there. Other mints had mintmarks to show they weren&#039;t struck in Philly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
