I have one that is slightly off but the Reverse side looks like a die problem to me. Please let me know about the indentations from the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 2:42 pm @razz, I'm seeing a bunch of circulation marks on the surface of this dime rather than something that happened at the mint. With regard to the orientation of the mintmark, I'm not aware of a specific "crooked P" variety, but here is a link to the error-ref site talking about rotated mintmarks: https://www.error-ref.com/rotated-mintmark/ "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Razz123 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 3:38 pm Here's a link by DC coin concerning rotated P marks. I was hoping to get more information on rarity and value. DI33ZYXF_oc Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 5:11 pm I'd totally ignore that source of information. In 1987 mintmarks were still applied to individual dies by hand and is completely normal be anywhere in the general vicinity. That's the trouble with youtube, there is so much misinformation.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98853 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 5:39 pm I agree, most likely ALL mint marks were slightly crooked as they all were placed on the dies manually. Collecting since 1972.
