Quickdrawartist New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 02:17 am I'm a newbie. I just bought a few rolls from the bank today. I have a bunch of quarters (like 1973 and 1978) with no mint marks. What's the deal with that? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Quickdrawartist New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 03:51 am Thanks Fuzzy317. So basically most quarters 1965-1979 were minted in Philadelphia? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 04:10 am I don't know the numbers per mint facility, but there may be years more dominate from one facility or the other. On a slightly different thought, in 1922 all cents were made at the Denver mint. Some may be missing the MM due to bad dies. Check these numbers on another section of CCF (page down a little) http://www.coincommunity.com/us_qua...shington.asp Edited by Fuzzy317 03/24/2012 04:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

All of these were struck with no mintmarks. Report this Post to the Staff

The low mintage of SF and WP coins is one of the reasons that mint marks were not used. The mint did not want the coins to be collected, they wanted them to circulate. Report this Post to the Staff
