coinsae New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 9:15 pm I'm new to errors and varieties but I was looking through some coin rolls of nickels and saw some difference in locations on a 1984 D nickel. I had a total of 13 1984D nickels and only 1 had a slightly different location. The mint mark was closer to the date than the other 12. Not sure if this is something that is normal for the mint locations to vary. I included a regular location as well as the 1 that was closer to the date, and an overlay of the 2. Normal location 8X Closer to date 8X Normal location 30X Closer to date 30X Overlay 30X Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 11:47 pm Excellent closeups as well! Up until 1990, nickel mintmarks were hand-punched on working dies, so slight variation in position and rotation are normal. That said, there are cases when extreme misplacement* can create a premium value for the coin. The nickels you have are normal, though. Keep searching! *Edit: for an example of extreme, check out this article about the 1975-D: http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...rs.all.html# In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 09/06/2017 11:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
