KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 09:35 am Mint marks were stamped by hand back then. This mint mark would be (to my knowledge) within the tolerance of a normal mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 09:49 am KisNap has it right. Up through 1989 the MM was hand punched on the die so placement will vary. Yours is within mint tolerances. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 10:10 am I did notice the difference in the 'S''s. I don't know anything about the Mint tolerances in this regard, however. Perhaps I have a little more to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 10:21 am Of course another possibility is where the Mint workers spent their lunch time. After a few Martini's, a Mint Mark could end up on Lincoln Nose. On the one at the right there appears to be some sort of marks under the Liberty. S Mint mark appears more closed. Sort of a double line on the Rim too. That thing on Lincoln's Nose looks like he should have used a Kleenex. Report this Post to the Staff
