Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 05:25 am hi all, can someone more knowledgeable than me weigh in on whether or not the mint mark of this coin is located within the acceptable area? I know that the mint marks were all sorts of messed up in the late '80s, leading to the mint allowing for significant variance in terms of mint mark placement. Not sure if this is within the limits. thanks in advance for the help G Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 51758 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 07:14 am Your coin is within tolerance. mint marks were hand punched into each working die until 1990 when they were applied to the master die.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62063 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 2:36 pm Being hand punched into the dies, the angle can be different, identifying these dies. Also they can be closer or further away from the date/bust: Or even on the digits: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=eds Misplaced mintmarks: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds Or even lower than a previous mintmark: Some RPMs are interesting because of the change of the mintmark punches: Richard S.
