Re: 1977 D quarter

It's a worn D. There was no P mint mark in 1977. I think 1980 is when they started using the P mint mark on quarters.

As per the WAM you have listed in your description. The 1982 WAM was normal. It wasn't until 1993 that they changed it to a Close AM. From 1959-1992 they were all Wide AMs, then from 1993-2008 they were Close AMs. Except for the known varieties of the Wide AM's. Although many people call the 1988 a...
