I'm not going to post a picture because if the answer is yes then it's no big deal. I was looking through some halves I got at the bank. And I noticed that two of them had mint marks in slightly different locations than the rest. Upon looking at them closer I saw that they were not only in different places but also looked like they were a different size.

Is this something common which is just not mentioned in the Red Book (yet)?

Never heard of it, so I doubt it's something "known". Position of mintmarks varies from die to die, this part is normal...but different size mintmarks would be something different entirely.

*grumble* Okay, this was the best I could do. I tried to find a large mint mark that was in about the same place as the small one.

1973-D-Kennedy-Large-And-Small-Mint-Marks?

But now, of course, that I look at it this way I'm thinking the mint mark was eroded away, or full of junk, or playful martians, etc., etc...
