coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 11:51 am Location is wrong for it to be a mintmark. Just coin damage with surface movement. Also the size if too small to be a mintmark. This coin never had a mintmark as it was from Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff
