jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2255 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:25 pm I've gathered quite a lot of these from circulation, and not just this date. The "D" is way too low for my tastes. The practice of hand-punching mint marks ended in 1989. So that means that someone built this mint mark directly into the die. Aesthetically, this D is way off. You'd think the mint would want to have some pride in its work. I don't see any of that here. Report this Post to the Staff

JennyCents Valued Member United States 233 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:11 pm Quote: The mintmark position on all 1994-D cents is the same. "Starting in 1990: The U.S. Mint began applying mint marks directly to the master hubs instead, which completely ended the hand-punching process and eliminated repunched mint marks (RPMs)" - hence the same mintmark positions too.
