I think it is a S mint mark, but I don't know about the date.

 

[Dok Holliday]

Date isn't a question. If held in the right light I can see the date. Mintmark is an issue.

I hate to follow the crowd, but that's an s.

 

[kleinerschmitter]

I can see both clearly, 1914-S is the coin, congrats!!

 

[Dok Holliday]

That is what my gut said too, but I didn't want to lead anyone on (last time I did that, I had to marry her )
1914S. My first key date coin.

I agree with 1914-S although 1914-D would be even better! How's the condition on that '28 Merc?

 

[Dok Holliday]

Merc is in bad shape. No reeding left, and worn smooth where the mintmark would be. No worries, I already have a 28d in fine.
