JoesterVT Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 4:39 pm I've got a few 69D pennies...on one I noticed the mint mark is quite a bit lower below the date than on the others, and also very weak. I could get pics if necessary, but I think it would be somewhat difficult to capture really....Any info on this? Report this Post to the Staff

They vary considerably in location from coin to coin. Yours may have been punched weakly, or it just did not strike up fully, most likely. Report this Post to the Staff

coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 10:00 pm unless the mint mark is really far off, say touching the date really crooked or far off where it should be then they are only worth face. I watched a " crazy mint mark " cent sell for 9$ on ebay the mint mark was under the one in date and even touchhing the number one a bit.
