JJFlash New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 10:44 pm Pictured are two 1984 P quarters. The one on the right represents most of the 1984 P quarters that I have seen. The one on the left shows a larger space between the bow in Washington's hair and the P mint mark. Is this a minting error? Report this Post to the Staff

Second, these mint marks were hand punched into the die and therefore exhibit some variation in location as you have noticed. No premium for these coins.

I though he was talking about the ribbon and the neck area. Correct answer already give. Mint marks were hand punched until 1990, when they are now on the die as part of the design. So no more RPMs after 1990. Edited by coop 01/27/2018 12:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
