Newherehavingfun Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 07/13/2022 12:23 am Hi! I have this bicentennial quarter, very dark and damaged and I can't decipher the mint mark. Any idea's? S? D? Also, I don't know why it was damaged so badly. How do we feel about the quality/patina? It looks like it was attacked. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
