I think it's too far gone to tell. I do see a little mark that looks like a D, but it's not in the right place.

I believe the D that you are seeing is the smallest, last leaf.

Sorry - Mint Mark (MM) is not positioned right and the size is too big. Plus why is the MM visible when everything else in the worn area can't be seen? The coin just looks so counterfeit from the remaining details that I may think someone purposely damaged it to conceal it and try to get away with selling the real deal!  Edited by Mark1959

The coin is too worn to tell. It is basically junk silver.

There's a glare where the mint mark should be

I wouldn't recommend this for use on anything but worthless junk coins, but if you soak the coin in vinegar for awhile, you may be able to see the details better. I have been told this will work on finding the dates of worn quarters and other 90% Silver coins, but I have never tried it myself. If you decide to try the vinegar soak, please post some pictures of the results. The coins will still be worth Silver value after the soak, so you really have nothing to lose.  |

I've done this with Buffaloes before, although I'm not sure how well it would work with silver. It's worth a shot, though- like cwb said, there's nothing to lose.

Be very careful with the vinegar silver is a lot softer than nickel and copper. You could possibly strip away any possibility to identifying the mint if you're not checking it every couple minutes.

That's not exactly how it works. Don't quote me on this, but I think it should take longer with a silver coin since silver is less reactive. |
