Well, I am going thru some things in the house and came across this in my collection from when I was a kid. It is a newspaper cutting (yeah, it looks like I went a little psycho on that cutting) from 1989 about the quarter missing a mintmark.
Living in Philly at the time, I spent all of my lawn mowing money to buy rolls of quarters from the bank think I could come across this. Found none, but still have some of the coins from those rolls (not all 1989) in 2x2's.
Something interesting I thought I would pass along. See attachment.

Can someone look this up to see if they actually put it in the books? Any hard core quarter collectors that might know?

I remember seeing non-collectors at shows offering stupid money for this junk.
You sent me back to the books. Here is the answer, from Alan Herbert. "Normally filled die coins are relatively common, and usually worth only a few cents. Numerous 1985 through 1993 quarters were found with missing mintmarks and, more recently, dozens of New Hampshire quarters also with missing mintmarks have been found. The fair market value is $3 to $5."
Thanks. I'll remember to look.

established that they are filled die errors interest waned. There are still
some who believe that these are desirable coins and they did get a lot
of publicity at the time. They are not common based on the thousands of
this date I've seen in circulation with no finds. I saw a seller a couple years
ago for less than $15.
