shantiom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 5:13 pm Is the MM here typical for this year, and if so, how did it happen? On the working hubs, or dies? Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Pillar of the Community United States 4959 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 5:19 pm Mintmarks were added after the strike until the late 1980's, making their location varying a lot. Beautiful coin! ça va bien aller Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 6:36 pm Also, an interesting die chip on the 9 and perhaps a die scratch coming off the bottom of the T in LIBERTY.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 3185 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 7:19 pm Mintmarks were added to the die by hand up to 1989. Mintmarks are added to the die, not the coin, so it was added well before striking. This one is MMS-008 (Mintmark Style #8). It was used on cents at the San Francisco mint from 1952 to 1974. So yes, looks typical to me. Nice looking coin! Creator of http://www.CRDieVarieties.com Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 08:31 am Thanks for the feedback and I have one more q: how does the the face get so scratched up? If that flaws in the planchet, bag marks, PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 1951 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 08:48 am I always prefer PSD (Post strike damage)as a coin can get banged around quite a bit before it exits the mint. Yes , to your question that is , the scratches on the face of the bust happened after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
