1917 makes it a Standing Liberty quarter, so the mint mark is just above and to the left of the date (the mint mark on quarters wouldn't return to the obverse again until 1968). No mark indicates Philadelphia, S is San Francisco, and D is Denver.
Sorry that was suppose to say a mint mark of an "A" on the PFENNIG.
If you mean before 1917, no. we were neutral until 1917
The M on all Standing Liberty quarters is the monogram of the coin's designer Hermon A MacNeil (and yes, he did spell his first name with an 'o')The mint mark position is roughly symmetric on the pedestal to the other side of Miss Liberty - blank = Philadelphia, S = San Francisco, D = Denver.
throat cutting :) Better to say in military fashion that "no quarter", no mercy is shown to the enemy.
there, Interesting question, people have likes and dislkes. You may not like mint because of the taste or because it reminds you of toothpaste. Loads of people hate brushing there teeth because it makes them feel sick or that they hate mint, although you don't really have a choice it's something that has to be done. It doesn't mean your not normal if you don't like mint, it just means you are not very fond with it so don't worry. I hope you have found my advice helpful. Take care.

The "Crown" and the "Castle" are two of many mint marks types indicating where the item was made or minted. The Mint Marks are many and varied. There are at least three different "Castle" mint marks and two different "Crown" mint marks. Other mint mint marks include crosses, stars, flowers, moons, keys, animals, etc. all of which have many variations, and these are only the British marks.

If you mean mint marks, cents have only been issued at Philadelphia and West Point (no mint mark from either mint), San Francisco ("S") and Denver ("D").
S and P aren't grades, they're mint marks indicating where a coin was struck. There are many other possible mint marks for U.S. coins as well, depending on their denomination and date.

It means the coin was struck in Philadelphia before the P mint mark was adopted, or that it's a cent struck at Philadelphia or West Point. Cents from those 2 mints do not carry mint marks. Also, all coins dated 1965-67 don't have mint marks, regardless of where they were struck.
If a penny has no mint mark, it typically means it was produced by the Philadelphia Mint. Mint marks indicate where a coin was minted, and coins from the Philadelphia Mint, the oldest U.S. Mint facility, do not have a mint mark.
