Hwy14 Valued Member United States 300 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 12:58 am I put 3 1969s pennies together, just because I had 3, and I noticed 2 of the S's were tilted. The one on top seems to be tilted to the right and the bottom left to the left. Is this normal? Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 01:01 am The mintmarks were added by puncheon individually to each working die by hand at the Philly mint. This makes for place and orientation differences Edited by Crazyb0 12/06/2017 01:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 12:17 pm Moxking , the only problem is in 1990 the cent and nickel were still punched into the individual working dies. It wasn't untill 1991 they caught up with the other denominations Sorry , had it backwards . The cent and nickel started in 1990 and the rest in 1991 http://www.varietyvista.com/Watershead Dates.htm Edited by stoneman227 12/06/2017 12:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
