<p>[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 41852, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum peter.I suspect you are referring to the mint mark, a "D", "P", or possibly an "S" if it's a proof. Chances are that under high magnification you will be able to detect either tooling marks where someone scraped it off, or a faint outline indicating that it was struck with a grease-filled die. Scraped off = numismatically worthless; struck through grease = worth 25¢ face value <i>and</i> numismatically.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if it could somehow be determined that there actually was no mint mark on the die, it might be worth a small premium, depending on how many were struck with the defective die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
