A common coin, but seems to be a tough find in nice condition in vf/xf. Seller's pic since I haven't gotten around to doing my own yet.

Has such a coin ever been found?? I have not heard of one.... Certainly could have happened though.....Cheers, RickO

After 1917 all Walkers had the MM on the reverse.

No, that is why I said "not known." There have been threads about hypothetical coins such as a 1931 Standing Liberty quarter, and I just wanted to add another hypothetical (but unknown) possibility.

I recall reading (possibly in Errorscope) about a 1917-S reverse mintmark half with heavy tooling marks on the obverse where the mintmark would have been. The speculation was that the obverse die had the mintmark ground off, but no traces remained to confirm that attribution. Maybe this will ring a bell with someone and they can put their hands on the photos that accompanied the article.

After 1917 all Walkers had the MM on the rverse.
Cool. Yeah I don't collect Walkers, so I've never seen (or paid attention to) that. Thanks

The 16-D and 16-S both have the MM on the obverse.
