Mowerdoctor New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 7:53 pm I received a 1941 Walking Liberty half dollar I purchased from a seller, as I was looking for the mint stamp on the left side, using my jewelers loupe I noticed a W stamped on the right side, its no bigger than a regular mint stamp but its not raised, any Ideas what it may or may not mean, if it were a metal stamp it had to be a tiny one and seems to me it would break, but things can be done now that will amaze you.

On Mercury dimes (which Weinman also designed), you can see the designer's monogram--which is a W with a small A under the W--on the left obverse field. Report this Post to the Staff
