jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 5:23 pm I don't see any sign of a mint mark, just damage. Not worth grading, as it is a slick/cull with little value over melt. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 6:49 pm This particular coin is so worn and appears to have some damage such that the TPGs most likely would not even authenticate it. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 12:20 pm Below the right side of the S I see what looks like the left side of a C, but when I enlarge the image I don't see it anymore. So it may just be my mind seeing things which aren't really there, trying to make sense out of random data. Report this Post to the Staff

If they can identify the date and mm in anyway such as a die pair or whatever they will grade it. If they can't figure out the date/mm they'll send it back unslabbed Report this Post to the Staff
