Dateless 1917-S Walker with mintmark on obv

pocketpiececommems

Has anyone had a dateless 1917-S Walker withmark on the obv graded by PCGS?

Outhaul

Okay, I give up...how the hell do you know it's a 1917-S if it's dateless?

Mind you, I'm not that familiar with the series.

hmm, i guess there are very few coins that it could be with the mint on the obverse lol.
unless there was a way to determine it by some other feature it would just be a guess.... i dont think they would grade it.

I'm puzzeled too. How do you or anyone know what the date is on a dateless coin? Is it worn off, poor strike or what? If date is missing, how was it that the mint mark is noticable? HMMMMMM.

The 1917 half was made with mintmarks on the obverse initially, then in mid-year they were moved to the reverse. Even if the date is gone, it's still possible for the mintmark to be seen. The mintmark on the obverse was placed below In God We Trust.

I don't know why PCGS wouldn't grade them. If the mintmark is legible, it can only be a 1917.

Didn't the 1916 S have an obverse mint mark as well?

Brain cramp for me. I was thinking that it was only the 1917 that had the mintmark on the obv.

Could it be that part of the 7 shows but the coin is still called dateless?

HA! You don't know what the heck you're talking about! Weren't you the guy who said he never posted before checking his facts! What about the 1916's? Still hiding behind that "busy at work, didn't think it through" excuse?

Sheesh.

Kranky,

Must be an age thing. T minus 11 days and counting.
