Very interesting! There's nothing much I can say, since I know very little about the variety.

E&V, 1987 had two D mintmarks. I kind of look at it like a transitional variety. The mintmark changed in 1988 but a few of the 1987's ended up getting the MMS-012 mint mark. Even a grade 45 is worth about 40 bucks. A grade 65 is worth $200. I've got six of them.

Wow Jim! Maybe I can do another trade with you sometime, when I find another valuable variety.

Jim, Which MM is normal for the year? What is the tell tail sign to look for for the collectible one? Thanks. John1 |

John1, The MMS-011 is the normal mint mark for that year. The tell tale sign for me is obviously the width and on the normal mint mark there is a thickness at the top of the mint mark. Mint mark positioning as well. The top pic is the MMS-011, the second pic is the MMS-012.   Edited by Jim0815

The mint marks for 1987 were place by hand. The location would vary if more than one obverse die was made with the new punch.

I definitely agree with you on that but the pic on VV's site uses that as a reference.

Rest in Peace

 Jim, show me WHERE you can realize that kind of Dinero for a mintmark change. If anything it is nothing more than a Transitional state, not even an "error". I'm talking real life dollars in hand, paid in full, not some chart of arbitrary figures like NGC/PCGS lists, Coppercoins, Et Al. Otherwise I find it more than impossible to believe that for this kind of error., sorry...not passing my smell test. And if it's on ewwboy, that is NOT a real world indicator of value.

Crazyb0, I can't my friend. But, there must be something to it if Coneca recognizes it as a Variety. Then again the 1962 D with the MMS-007 is another one but you can't hardly give them away. I just think it's a pretty cool little known Variety.

Stilllookin, I think that is an awesome comparison. I would very much like to have a stereo microscope one day!
