kennedy759 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 4:50 pm no mint mark on the obverse on my 2001 proof, only on the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
kennedy759 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 5:34 pm so is the Weinman mark only on the type 2 obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5603 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 6:18 pm Mint Marks are on the Reverse of the American Silver Eagles, Those which have them.... Not all ASE's have Mint marks , Bullion coins do NOT have a Mint Mark. The initials seen on the Obverse are AS stated earlier the Designer of Some of the Classic Coins of days gone Bye...His design was Also used on the 1986 ASE'S series Obverse.
