Her is a Standing Liberty quarter in poor condition. After looking at it closely (thru a loupe) my heart did a little skip in beat. I circled the area where the mintmark is located on the coin series. What is your opinion on what you see? Thanks for looking. Ben  Edited by Bonedigger

"I see dead people."
Just kidding, I think it's just an aberration of the way it wore. Maybe an expert in the series knows of some other diagnostic to tell for certain.

Think you're a little high on where the 'S' should be. Posted an image from ebay. Let's see how close it is.  |

But then again, where I marked it, looks like an 'S' to me!  |

The location is off by quite a bit. Just a funny wear issue IMHO. Mike  |

I agree, it looks like part of the outer pattern of the star and it is way too high...

We all agree that Bonedigger's quarter is a 1927, right? The coin posted by Vaslin is the key date 1923-S which is valuable even with most of the date missing. Given that it is a 1927, I was all ready to say it doesn't matter whether a poor-condition 1927 quarter has a mint mark since they would all be worth close to melt. Then I took out the latest Coin Market magazine and I see the '27-D is valued at $14 in Good while the S is $35. Coins that I assumed were junk silver don't look so junky at today's prices! I'll bet the '27-S was less pricy when dealer JH Cline decided to roll out this quarter to create a business card:  |
