ccrider Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 2:42 pm I have a 1974 D LMC on which the MM looks slightly tipped. The MM in the top image looks vertical while the MM on the bottom looks tilted a few degrees. All my other 1974 D LMC are similar to top image. Are my 70 year old eyes deceiving me?

Sometimes they are at a slight angle while other times they are in slightly different locations. Unless it is at a crazy angle (e.g. sideways), there is not a numismatic premium.
