Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 07/20/2006 3:47 pm I have a very attractive 1931-? Mercury dime and evidently when I purchased it over 20 years ago, I purchased it as a 1931-d. As I was looking at coin, the mint mark is undisgtinguishable, I thougt some physical damage, no, a D/S, can't tell, the die just put down a blob, rather mint mark. Can anyone shed some light, please. Can't do pictures, sorry. thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/20/2006 3:58 pm Hi Berry Without a pic the best that can be done is a bit of conjecture,, My resource material does not list an OMM for 1931 ,, however you should check that date for a DDO Doubled Die obverse. your coin could be a D mint coin if the center post which would create the center portion of the D was chipped or broken, then the Mint mark could look like a blob rather than a clear D.

Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 07/20/2006 4:13 pm Hi Rick, the explanation you gave about the center portion of the D was chipped or broken, then the mint mark could look like a blob rather than a clear D. If you could visualize a D mint mark, then have a blob, with the 9 - 12 O'clock portion pressed up and away from the main body of the mint mark thats what this does look like. To my untrained eye, it is just a blob with the upper left quadrant pushed out. I will have to get someone to show me how to input photos into the forumn. Thanks Rick. Report this Post to the Staff
