jgmick New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/11/2007 11:52 pm Today in my change I found two different 1987-D Lincoln Penny, one that had the D mint mark much lower then other, while the other was much closer to the date and slightly crooked. See attached picture. Is one of these two a common error or even considered an error coin? Thanks Mickfamily Image: 000_0037.jpg 12.09 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 7:00 pm Hi jgmick I agree with the other two posters the mint marks are both within normal tolerances. The position of the MM unless it is wildly out of position offers no added value to the coin. Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/16/2007 09:56 am Very common. Before 1990 the mintmarks on the cent were punched into each die by hand and as such tend to wander around all over the place from one die to the next. Usually unless the mintmark touches some of the other design details it has no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
