PaulusB New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 11:50 pm I found a 1946 nickel with what I thought was an unusually large Philadelphia mint Mark. Two problems: It was stamped, not raised. The P wasn't used after 1945. Can anyone help explain what is the deal with this nickel? Report this Post to the Staff
