I picked up a group of 21 of 1970 Manitoba Centennial Medals minted by the Wellings Mint. As I was examining them I noticed that there are 3 different mint marks above the MM in Commemorative. The photos show the different marks: The top piece has the Wellings Screw Press icon mark - on 2 of 21; The lower left has a fading Wellings mark - on 16 of 21; The lower right has a full strong Wellings mark - on 3 of 21. Anyone else notice this? Is there a catalogue for these modern pieces? Gene * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff

I was unfamiliar with the medal and while doing research I never ran across any mention of different mint marks. But sure enough there is quite some difference as you have well demonstrated. I believe this particular medal has the a full strong Wellings mark. Report this Post to the Staff
