Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 8:42 pm Interesting coin--it doesn't look to me like it has been purposefully removed or worn away (although this coin does have considerable wear). I'm going to guess that the mintmark didn't fully strike up due to a grease-filled die.

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 8:48 pm Looks like a worn die and coin with circulation damage/wear. I see a faint P to the right of the hair pony tail, where the MM should be, about the 4 o'clock position. Edited by southsav 08/16/2018 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21640 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 9:04 pm More than likely Struck Through Grease. Reminds me of the Quarter a couple of weeks ago with a filled MM and the OP was asking $100,000 for it as a one of a kind on Craiglist. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 04:23 am I agree with Coop. The bottom part of the ponytail looks a little flat also from being Struck Through Grease and circulation wear. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 1:25 pm Since the mintmark was in the master die (possibly the master hub) after 1989 the only way it could be missing a mintmark would be if either it chipped off a working hub (in which case every die that hub made would have a missing mitmarks and there would be tons of them out there) or if the mintmark filled with grease in a working die.
