Strange Mint Mark?

I don't know anything about American Quarter Dollars, but this kinda confused me dd: ... i found this 1977 quarter dollar while i was looking through a variety of coins and the mint mark caught my attention It looks like a "D" as in Denver, but more like a blotch???

is it just a error, or just minted different?

(i cant take a pic right now but ill upload one later on today or tommorrow)

camera's in use atm....:rolling:

Yeah, we need a picture. Look at the mint mark with 10x magnification. It could be an RPM. However, it is common to find "filled" mint marks on certain modern coin dates.

 

i think it may be filled, ill get a pic uploaded as soon as possible

 

If it's in the location where a mint mark should be it is a D but probably just a filled in one. Could be a P that also is messed up a little. The P is the Philly one. I'd spell out Philly but not sure how to spell it. Have a lot of trouble spelling my own state, Illinois.

 

It look's like a D filled in, not so much a P lol. It is where the mint mark usually is so it is prob is a filled D,

i needa borrow the camera and take a few pics of different coins i have questions bout(and that i like) :smile

Thnx :bow:

 

i've noticed alot of quarters from the 70's and 80's with bad mintmarks. i guess they just kept using the dies, even though they were worn out.

 

that could be it then, re-using worn out dies.
