shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 07:30 am I sold a 1898-P Morgan on ezay this past week and was told it was a fake since it didn't have a mint mark and wanted a return. Now I'm not an expert but was pretty sure Philly Morgan's don't have a P. Buyer quickly closed the return request. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 07:49 am There was no mint mark for Philly on Morgan and Peace dollars. Sounds like the buyer had second thoughts and looked for an excuse to return it. Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 07:50 am Yes, according to CoinTrackers.com, the 1898 Morgan dollar does not have a mintmark. I am surprised that the buyer knew that little about the coin he was buying, though. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 08:51 am The first P mintmark on a US coin was on a War Nickel in 1942. No P mintmarks before that. After the War Nickels ended in 1945, a P mintmark did not appear until 1979 on the SBA dollar and 1980 on other US denominations. The first P mintmark on a one cent coin began this year in 2017.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 08:53 am Oh and your Morgan dollar looks like it has almost proof-like surfaces on the reverse, may be BU with mostly light bagmarks. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
