I know that only the Denver mint produced all 1925 Indian Head Quarter Eagles, but is it possible the mint mark was missed on this coin by error?  I have read other claims of a missing mint mark on these coins, and most feel the mark has just worn off over the years.  However, I can't perceive even the remnants of the mark.  Please advise.  Thank you!

I believe the mink mark has been almost totally obliterated by wear and abrasive cleaning. In the area where the mint mark is located is a small dark spot that I think would be the center of the "D".  An enlarged image of the mint mark area might help make a determination. 

I'm certainly no expert, so I hope others will weigh in with their opinion.

I agree!

When I blow up the image I can see that the mintmark is there but faint.  You have to remember that the mintmark on these coins is the HIGHEST feature on the coin so it is the first thing that gets worn.
