Lelah Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 12:07 am I thought that in 1985 they put the mint mark on the machines to stamp it. Instead of doing it manually. What happened to this one. It's sideways. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 12:11 am I believe mint marks were hand punched until 1989. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 12:17 am Mint marks were added to working dies by hand until 1989. Their target area was below the date and to the right of the bust, so they could be almost anywhere, or upside-down, or sideways. Report this Post to the Staff

Lelah Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 05/11/2017 12:19 am No. I don't. I didn't bother keeping the penny. I just put it back in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
