Hello again coin community! I found this 1959 D with the mint mark being in a wierd place compared to other 1959 D pennies I have, has anyone else seen this before ? Thanks for looking!
This is common. It is when the devices are touching the date area, then it is a variety. On the 1956-D cents, there was a die that showed a Punch on the devices, but also a second punch on the other area. It was an extreme example of this: On the later die states they were polished off the die, but the location would still identify the Die, but without the RPM, they were not as valuable: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=eds https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds
Collectors really like when the mint mark is actually touching the date. They are not very common but do happen and you find them time to time. Happy hunting!
