vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 6:28 pm I thought it was kind of odd. An error dealer told me that pre 1990 Lincolns had the mintmark applied by hand? This mint employee must have had bad vision! Nevertheless, I enjoy collecting Lincoln oddities. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

One Red Cent Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 9:20 pm I thought the mint marks were hand stamped onto the master dies until the 1990's? That's definately a bad puching job you have there. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 5:35 pm The hand punching on the dies happened till 1989. In 1990 the mint mark was added to the master die so RPMs ended in 1989. Hand punching the mint mark was usually closer to the date or on the date digits, thus the moving of the mint mark to a lower location creating RPMs. Seems like there are few lower RPMs than closer to the date ones. (mainly on Cents) Because of different locations of the mint mark on other denominations, the closeness to the date was usually not a problem. Report this Post to the Staff
