Weak D

[Mzchiefmelly]

When I was separating D mm from S mm and no mm I placed this one in the no mm pile. Then I used my loop and saw the D mm. Is the 1922 D mm the only weak mm sought after? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks for looking.

The weak "D" for the 1922-D is "different" do you know why?



OK, I will tell you - that 1922-D is the only coin for that year that was struck. They didn't strike any Philadelphia or San Francisco coins, so if the 1922-D doesn't have a "D" then things are a bit strange.

Have a look at a "weak D" mintmark.... https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/...everse-rb/3286

For the 1964 mint mark, they minted coins in Philadelphia and Denver. So even if this 1964-D was so weak you couldn't even see it, people know this coin could simply has an "out" knowing that coins in 1964 were struck in Philly.

This "D" on your coin I can see clearly. It could be a number of factors why the mintmark may look that light. It could be a slightly tapered planchet in that area that allowed for this, I suggest this since the coin has that wood grain look to it. It simply could have been a weak strike, or the mintmark iteslf was punched into the working die a little lighter than normal.

In any event, this coin is far from being able to claim the title as "no mintmark" I mean you have to find a coin that feels like it has become a victim since you pour hours and hours staring over it because you think you see something but are not sure.
