Newbie_7 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) First I would like to thank everyone that has responded to my other questions, I appreciate your help. I saw a coin that was being offered on a website. I think it was a Kennedy half dollar. The coin had a filled in mint mark and was listed for close to $1000. Are filled in mint marks really that unusual or was this person hoping for a sucker? I have a couple of coins that look like they have filled in mint marks. I have included one of my coins.

Greenstang Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 He was looking for a sucker. Filled in D and P mm are known as broken posts and have little or no premium. There would be 100’s of thousands of them out there. If the post broke off half way through a run, you would have as many filled in mm as you would have regular mm Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 They were hoping for a sucker. Filled mint marks aren't uncommon, as Stang points out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoghead515 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ive literally seen hundreds of them looking through change the past few years. Was the seller on Esty? Its loaded with crooks like that. We usually warn everyone to stay away from Esty. There are a few on Ebay to avoid also. Alot of good sellers on there to. Just gotta watch who you buy from. But Ive seen sellers online trying to sell pocket change for thousands of dollars and it only worth face value. Sadly there are an endless amount of crooks out there trying to take advantage of people. Usually when you try to google a coin the first thing that pops up is a listing of someone trying to sell a common quarter or something for $10,000 dollars. 9 times out of 10 its on a link to Esty.

If you are new, and you have already found 7 of them, you probably have a good indication that it is not something that is "rare". These can be fun to collect, but they carry no premium.

Conder101 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I have included one of my coins. What's worse is that isn't even a filled mintmark. it's a damaged one that has taken a hit and pushed metal over the center of the mintmark.
