i have fanned ya and am watching this is one coin i have to have Merry Christmas to you will be bidding when i am able to get the credits plz fan back. Only 1 question why is there no mint mark?
Coins without a mint mark indicate it was made at the Philadelphia mint. As to the reason why...
In 1792, the Federal government was located in Philadelphia. Congress subsequently established its first coining facility (mint) in that city. Because it was the first and only (for a while) mint, coins produced there needed no mint mark. Subsequent minting facilities (New Orleans, Carson City, San Francisco, Denver, West Point) needed to distinguish their product via a mint mark, identifying where it was produced.
really nice coin...i'll watch and see how it goes...i think you should get 42,000 credits...hopefully more :-) do you like hawaii brownseal? 1935 world war two notes?
