AllSeasons Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 01:20 am I found this what I believe to be a 1911-? Wheat cent today in a Loomis roll. It's in pretty rough shape, and it's hard to make out the year and mint mark (if there is one). I'm pretty sure it's a 1911, but I'm not sure about the mint mark at all. In the photos I took (with an iPhone), it appears to have a "D" mint mark. However, when I look at it under a loupe, I don't really see the "D". Is the "D" just an artifact created by the camera, a figment of my imagination, or does it look like a real mint mark? I'm attaching a couple of pictures below. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 08:33 am looks like a 1911 here - but the 'D'? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
