JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21662 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 2:31 pm Not sure what info you are looking for but don't forget they were hand punched and sometimes the punch was worn or the mint employee might have punched it a little deeper than on previous dies. Some years had more than 1 different style punch so any of the above can make the mm appear different from other dies. If this is not what you want to know, please be a little more specific with your question. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98561 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 3:04 pm interesting looking S. top part didn't strike well? MM punch was at an angle when the MM was set into the die?

dart100 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 3:04 pm Thanks for the information and replies. I really didn't know how to phrase my question, but the mint mark looked off to me. I thought it was probably normal, but wanted to ask to be sure it wasn't an S over S or even a S over D. Again, I'm new to this and my equipment and eyesight isn't the best. I added a couple of additional pics. Report this Post to the Staff
