Found this 2014 Great Smokey Mountains quarter with P mintmark almost completely polished away. Coin is MS 60 and shows only faint trace of 'P' mintmark. Anybody seen this yet ?
I have one of the new hampshire state quarters with a missing mintmark. Just grease filled dies. These ones havent caught on like the 22 no D cent yet
It could be the result of a grease-filled die or it could be surface damage, but without a good close-up of the area, it's hard for me to tell. Chris
No, but note how the surface color is slightly different from left to right. Also, notice that the letters "WE" & "ST" of IGWT are thinner than normal. This suggests that some build-up of grease may have caused this. If so, it could also have affected the mintmark and made it very easy for a surface abrasion to remove it. Of course, the simplest answer is usually the best, so it could very well be wholly due to a grease-filled die. Chris
