MRC4U New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 12:18 am I have a 1942 quarter with a mint mark I'm trying to identify. I can definitely see an S but am unsure if it's over another S or different letter. Any seen this error before? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff
