Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 09:49 am My question is this why would a 1987 D LMC with the MMS-012 Mintmark not be considered a transitional variety? Variety Vista on their site calls this a rare cent. I understand that it is just a mintmark that was meant for a different year, but so were the reverses of traditional transitional cents.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 11:30 am I have never heard of a transitional mint mark for the 1987-D cent, so I will be watching what others have to say. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 2:36 pm No one has, my original question was why is it not? A different year mintmark on a cent or coin is not much different than a wrong year reverse. Is it not? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 3:11 pm Can you post a link to where you read that it is a rare cent and the wrong MM? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 3:34 pm Mintmark puncheons were used from year to year. None are really exclusive to a certain year unless a specific reason as a new one being used for SF in 1974 because the post broke on the old one or something similar. So I guess your question is a bit ambiguous? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 4:10 pm @John1 it is on the link on Variety Vistas site. I'm not very tech savvy but go to the DDO listings and there will be a tab for mintmark styles, when you open that tab click the Denver mint mark styles and that is where I found that. Guys, I'm sorry, the MMS-012 was used in 1987 but they are scarce. My question was for nought. Edited by Jim0815 08/14/2018 4:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
