CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 02:52 am Mint marks were not part of the die and were added at the individual mints by the staff, you will see them all over the place. Those that touch the date are good but really the RPMs and the OMMs are the ones with a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

In this case the guy punching in the mintmark punched higher than normal. But in general if the mintmark was in the triangular are bounded by the date, the bust, and the rim, it was considered to be OK. Report this Post to the Staff
