So it didn't have any images of the coin, but what I'm puzzled with is if it's an s mint from Sacramento with no as mint mark on the coin how exactly is one to tell that it is what it is someone could help explain It would be greatly appreciated, and for whatever reason I can't find much info about it. Thank you for reading Report this Post to the Staff

These were Proof Coins that had a limited amount struck without the S mm so it would have to be a 1990 Proof, not a business strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 02/22/2023 5:42 pm and Jimmy is very correct - the S mint is in San Francisco. The coin would also be a proof if it was from SF. is this coin a proof? if not it is probably from Philadelphia ( no mint mark). can you share a link to your 'rabbit hole'? Collecting since 1972.

Of the series of No S proof coins produced over the years it's the 3rd scarcest, so good luck finding one. Report this Post to the Staff
