Found in my pocket change today a 2000 New Hampshire State Quarter that has no mint mark. Any other of these around? Anything special about that or does everyone have one and I'm the last to know about it?
Are there other devices in that area that is missing? It could be a strike through grease and the mint mark filled and could not shape that area. The mint marks since 1990 are on the dies. The only way it could be missing is damage/grease filled/or polished out.
Has to be Struck Through Grease or some other obstruction. There's no such thing as a Statehood Quarter die that starts out with no mintmark. Reason being, the master hubs had the mintmarks on them already. They are not punched into the dies (like the 1982 no mintmark quarters) so there's no chance they could have forgotten to 'add' the mintmark to the die.
A lot. It seems that each coin issue has some feature that tends to attract grease and fills. The DE quarter tended to lose the last E in STATE, the CT loses the ER of CHARTER, the Bicentennial half loses the CE of INDEPENDENCE, and the NH quarter loses the mintmark.
