Came across this 1974 quarter the mint mark is in front of the nose and edges are smudged or something the bottom of the 9 in 1974 is still readable and eagle wing.
i dont believe that is the mintmark you are seeing in front of GW's nose. the US mint didnt put the mintmark in that location - it is located behind his head near the hair.
what you are seeing is a whole LOT of post mint damage!
