I am familar with S, D, P and even W mint marks but this dime I have stared at under magnifying glass and Can Not determine the Mint Mark. I was wondering if another member could help on this issue. Thank You.  |

talking to the left of the date? that is not a mint mark, its the designer's initials. A mint mark would be above the date, but since this was produced at the Philly mint, it has no mint mark. From the CCF Coin Facts page |

Philadelphia Mint Mark was added to Susan B. Anthony dollar in 1979, and added to the nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar in 1980. The US cent does not have a Philadelphia mint mark. |

This a 1959 dime, the mintmark would be on the reverse to the left of the bottom of the torch. If there is a mintmark it would have to be Denver, but if not, Philly.

Also being 1959 this dime is 90% silver. Don't take it back to the bank or spend it. The photo is fuzzy but it looks like it is in good shape for a 1959.
