wrk4lvg Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 09/02/2005 4:36 pm I decided to go through the Red Book again and figure out which coins I have exactly. A few questions with a few more to follow. I am going through my 1922 Peace and realize that neither have a mint mark under the "one" on the reverse. Which could it be with the remaining choices? I have two $5 gold pieces. They are both in "mint" condition, IMO. However, the 1904 I can't find a mint mark. The other however is a year 2000 (did they make these in 2000?) Either way, I can't find a mint mark on it either. I think my last ? is in regards to my 1853 quarter. It has rays and arrows. However, what does "3 over 4" mean? I can't really make out what they are trying to get across with just the picture provided in the Red Book. THanks in advance. Edited by wrk4lvg 09/02/2005 4:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 09/02/2005 9:47 pm Your 1922 is a Philadelphia minted coin, hence no mintmark. The 1904 Half Eagle would have a mintmark below the eagle on the reverse, if not it is from the Philly mint as well. The 2000 $5.00 (1/10 oz) gold is West Point or Philaelphia minted. As far as the overdate goes, you can see parts of the 4 showing under the 3. If not, yours is a regular 1853. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
wrk4lvg Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 09/02/2005 10:08 pm Hey there. Thanks for the updates. I have found the info on the 1/10oz. Has a value of 60-90 via the Red Book. I will have to break out the magnifine glass for the 1904 as well as the overdate on the 1853. As far as the 1922. They have a 1922D 1922S and 1922 either high relief or normal relief. I don't see an S or D, so the 3 1922s I have, must be either a normal or high relief coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/03/2005 09:28 am My initial feeling would be that you have the normal relief. The high relief is only in a matte proof which has a completely different appearance from a business strike. Report this Post to the Staff

LOL, but I don't have that kind of luck to have something "rare". Report this Post to the Staff
