MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 03:30 am to the CCF!! Yes this is normal for LMCs to have a slight variance in MM position up until 1989. This was due to the MM being hand punched into each die. After 1989 the MM was engraved into the die so it tends to be in a more consistent spot on post 1989 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Unless the mintmark is touching the date, or something else wildly far away, it is within the normal variation.
