RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 11:57 pm I like it on the obverse - always seems like an afterthought on the reverse and I think it sullies the design. Of course it's more fun on the reverse when roll hunting. Report this Post to the Staff

There were exceptions; the Lincoln Cent and the Standing Liberty quarter come to mind. Mint marks were removed in 1965 and did not reappear until 1968, when they moved to the obverse.

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 4:58 pm When I first started collecting, this really had me confused. I couldn't figure out why all of the older nickels I had were from the Philly mint (i.e. no mint mark) when most of what I find is usually from Denver. When I finally figured out where the mint marks were, those annoying Denver holes in my album were easily filled. Report this Post to the Staff
