What mint marks on pennies are rare?
In general, "S" mint marks from the San Fransisco mint are more scarce than other mint marks when it comes to pennies. But just because it has an "S" on it doesn't make it a rare, or even scarce coin.
Can you trade in games with marks on them?
you can, but you really shouldn't. its worth alot less than it would in mint condition.
Where are the mint marks on a 1942 dime?
That would be mint mark rather than "marks" because a coin can only be minted in one Mint. The mint mark position on all Mercury dimes is the same, next to the E in the word ONE on the back. Blank = Philadelphia D = Denver S = San Francisco There's more information at the Related Question.
What are the different us mint symbols?
They're actually called mint marks rather than "symbols". There have been 8 different mint marks over the years. Four mints are currently in operation: P = Philadelphia Mint D = Denver Mint (1906-present) S = San Francisco Mint W = West Point Mint. In the past, there were: CC = Carson City Mint C = Charlotte Mint D = Dahlonega Mint (1838-61) O = New Orleans Mint Most coins of the Philadelphia Mint earlier than 1980 are unmarked. Currently the Lincoln cent is the only coin that does not show a "P" when struck at the Philadelphia mint. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_mark
What is a 1968 Jefferson nickel without a mint mark worth?
1968 Jefferson nickels were only struck at Denver and San Francisco so they all should have mint marks. 1968 was the first year for obverse-side mint marks so it should be on the front between the date and the tail of Jefferson's wig. Mint marks were smaller at that time and were added to the dies by hand so it may be more difficult to see than on more recent nickels.
Why doesn't my 2008 penny have a mint mark?
Because it was minted in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia mint pennies don't carry any mint mark.The reason for the lack of a mint mark is that demand is sometimes so high that the mints at West Point and/or San Francisco make extra pennies. Mintages are much smaller than normal Philadelphia and Denver production so if they carried mint marks they'd be "instant rarities". To prevent that from happening the Mint decided that only Denver cents would carry mint marks even though all other denominations started using the P mark in 1980.
Do all US coins have mint marks?
Many US coins are "plain"; i.e. they don't have mint marks. The explanation can be somewhat confusing, but in general:Most coins made at Philadelphia before 1980 don't have mint marks.There were no mint marks on any coins dated 1965-1967.Since 1975, the only cents with mint marks are from Denver ("D")The "whys" and "whats":From 1793 to 1837 the US Mint had only one facility, located in Philadelphia. There was no need to identify where a coin was minted so none of them carried mint marks. When additional mints were opened in 1838 their coins did have mint marks but for reasons unknown Philadelphia coins were still made without a mint mark. That practice became a sort of tradition and continued until 1942, when a "P" mint mark was first used to distinguish between standard cupronickel 5¢ pieces and those made in a special wartime alloy of silver, copper, and manganese. After the war, the old practice was resumed and continued until 1979 when a "P" was added to $1 coins and other denominations the next year.Mint marks were removed from all coins during the changeover from silver to clad coinage. Some politicians were erroneously concerned that collectors would hoard the new coins and forced the Mint to make them as indistinguishable as possible.During times of high demand for cents, extra pennies are sometimes struck at West Point or San Francisco. These batches are much smaller than those made at Philadelphia and Denver, so the decision was made that cents from all mints except Denver would continue to be plain as a way of avoiding "instant rarities".
Where can I get a coin with no mint mark examined?
Almost all Philadelphia coins minted before 1980 did not have mint marks, so it's very possible you have an ordinary coin rather than an error or other rarity. Please post a new, separate question with the coin's date and denomination to make it easier to ID.
A 1943 Jefferson nickel has a large S on the back. What does this mean?
The "S" is the mint mark for the US Mint at San Francisco, California. All US Mint facilities place their own letter, which identifies them, on nearly all of the coins they mint. The larger than normal mint marks on the "war nickels" were placed there to indicate the coins were of a different alloy than previous nickels, containing 35% silver instead of nickel.
Why don't 1965 coins have mint marks?
The US suspended the use of mint marks on all coins dated 1965-67. The mints were operating 24/7 making new clad coins to replace all of the silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars that were being pulled from circulation and melted. Somehow politicians concluded that those coins were being withdrawn by coin collectors rather than metal speculators, and removed mint marks as a way to reduce coins' appeal to collectors. Needless to say hoarding continued and by 1968 mint marks were restored. Also please be careful to note that coins minted at Philadelphia prior to 1980 (before 1979 for dollars) don't carry mint marks so not finding a P is perfectly normal.
Do you underline or quotation marks when the book is more than 100 pages?
When indicating the title of a book that is more than 100 pages, it is typically italicized rather than underlined or enclosed in quotation marks. This is the standard formatting style for longer works in written text.
Does chocolate mint make you feel better if your sick?
The mint in the chocolate mint would help to calm your stomach but I would recommend something other than the chocolate. Mint leaves are the best.
