doc_jones0215 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/17/2005 2:57 pm I purchased some decent coin protectors,and was sorting my bicentennial coins (the drummer ones) out of their former protective homes (a few pairs of Ziplocs sandwich bags), when I realized that one does not have a mint. No impression where the mint should lie, no visible wear or scratches, just simply, no mint. I've looked sites over and over searching for advice. I know of mistruck coins, but I've never seen one void of a mint completely. As soon as I get batteries for my digicam, I will post a pic of it if needed. Can anyone help me? Thx.

However, most of my experience is with older US coins, so someone here may have different information. Report this Post to the Staff
