Titles are Important! * Hi all, Reasons for posting this are two-fold. One just got new camera and practicing getting a decent pic, let me know what you think :). Two the mint mark on this looks quite crooked. I used the camera's program to adjust the coin with grid on and got the date as evened up as I could. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Up through 1989, MM's were hand-punched on the dies so variations like this are not uncommon. It would have to be extreme to have a premium.

cheerful16 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 2:16 pm What about a dime from 1999 that has a crooked mint mark? It just looks so odd when they're visibly crooked...I can send a pic if you prefer, but it's a pretty similar question with a more modern date. Still learning--thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
