Looks like a '31 to me best I can see. I need new glasses though. Sheesh! Have to use a magnifying glass most of the time even checking dates on coins, much less, mint marks.

HH...All the BEST from the "DEN!"...Silver "Bear"

I've checked for a mint mark and this coin does not appear to have one...

I think 1941. The 9 and 4 have been badly (intentionally?) distorted. A 3 would not be pointed at the top, which is about all that is left of it.

Almost looks like someone was using it as a target for plinking or target shooting. Looks pretty well shot-up, yet oddly not as distorted as it could be.

I concur with the result and with the logic behind it. the top of that 3rd digit is pointed. It is either a 1 or a 4. Since there is no 1911 Merc, that is a 1941.

Pure junk silver if you ask me. If I was going to sell, that would be one of the first pieces to go. LOL

Looks like a '41 to me also, but its still silver so I find her pretty.

Those look like they might be casting bubbles in a wax copy of a merc. If this is the case you have a counterfeit merc. I have four counterfeit mercs, can you pick them out?

 

[Tuberale]

The cast copies (don't like the term counterfeit) are center top and center bottom. The two on either side are authentic.
