neohoritis New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 7:52 pm Mint mark is in the wrong place and 9 and 5 are filled. Is this a common error? Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 8:12 pm The question should be, Whats the right place? Actually the MM can be any where in that general area since they were hand punched by hand.I've found MM's from the same year all over the place. Die chips are pretty common especially in the 50"s Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15489 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 8:39 pm Not an error at all ... common mint issues from that date until 1990 when the mint mark was placed on the master die. Worth 1 cent. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 07:24 am the die chips - are actually mint errors. however - there were so many in the 50's that they are common and minor, and of no real value added premium. having said that - I personally find them interesting - and I keep most that I find in a small plastic coffee container. no real expense in keeping them and I consider them fun/interesting.
