GRcoins Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 4:26 pm Hi All I found these 7 cents together in my grandfather's collection and I thought as I looked through them that the S mint mark was moving around a bit on the different coins. Sometimes it is close to the date, sometimes farther away (and smaller) and sometimes it is located just slightly to the left of the 2 in the date, but other times, directly under the two or directly below the gap. Is this much variation normal? Thanks for your help! GRcoins Report this Post to the Staff

Way back in the good old days, Mint marks were put on manually so they are all over the place. Report this Post to the Staff
