tomd New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 4:25 pm I have two samples of different Mint marks. Question is, which one is the more common one. Or are they both as common. skinny D above the 5 from the date fat D offset from the 5 from the date Report this Post to the Staff

Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 11:55 am 1989 was the last year they were done by hand. Which is why you can't find RPMs after 1989. Report this Post to the Staff

Wait a minute: if there were 6 million coins struck that came from 600 dies, doesn't that come out to 1,000,000 of that type of offset coins? Or am I calculating it wrong?
