fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 2:51 pm I couldn't resist this one. It's one of my favorite random 1920's mm locations, and offered in the just for kicks category. Sometimes, mint employees were just a little challenged in trying to find the right place for the mm. I could almost hear the instructions for this one: "Just find something, anything, and line up the mint mark under it." I really hope that employee didn't become an aspiring ship captain, trying to line up on a harbor entrance, or an aspiring pilot, trying to line up on a runway! Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 3:19 pm In the old days the mint technician would be categorized as a meticulous eccentric craftsman. In 2018 he or she would be ADDHD with obsessive compolsive disorder. I think he or she nailed it right on the money and its perfect. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 11:15 pm At least the mint worker didn't end up whacking the mint mark in the portrait, like the "1 in neck" date punch on the 1897 Indian! The 1926-D sure is an enigma, though. It's a remarkably boring coin, and I'm not aware of any meaningful varieties for the date except the Cud David Lange noted, but the mint marks sure were all over the cow pasture. The only interesting thing I've found in a 1926-D is a possible very close D/D west, and I wouldn't bet on it, given the amount of wear on the example. Report this Post to the Staff
