Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 02:34 am Mint marks were added to working dies by hand until 1989, so it could have been almost anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 02:52 am Ok thank you Fuzzy. It is the only one I have come across that was actually touching the date, so I wasn't sure. Good to know. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 02:54 am to a collector of that type error, the mint mark touching the date might have a premium. But you would have to find the right collector. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 03:03 am I'd hold onto it, even if it's not worth any premium, it's still a education piece to show how varied mint marks can come Report this Post to the Staff

I will set it aside, just in case I come across someone interested in this type. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 03:10 am I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult, if given the opportunity, I'd probably pay a few bucks to own an example like this just for comversation Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 08:42 am As an inexpensive specialty collection look for more 1954-S Lincolns with the MM in different locations. With over 96 million struck there should be quite a variety of locations. From what I could find the average life of a Lincoln was about 1 million. Even with some in apparently the same position there still should be quite a variety. You could put together an interesting show-and-tell collection. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 9:03 pm When a MM is touching the date, it is so misplaced that it commands a slight premium to the right collector. maybe fifty cents or so. Report this Post to the Staff
