From this picture it looks normal. If there is something you see that seems abnormal, state it along with a close up shot of the MM.

Not to sure what your question is about . Are you talking about the placement of the MM or wondering why there is a P for a MM .?  |

The P mintmark on 2017 Shield cents is intentional. That was done for the 225th anniversary of the establishment of the Philadelphia Mint in 1792. These are not "added mintmark errors" worth thousands, these were made by the billions and worth only one cent.
Not trying to sound condescending, but just speaking the truth.

That's normal for that year. The U.S. Mint decided to add a Philadelphia mint mark for that year only. It was done for the 225th anniversary.
Errers and Varietys.

Bate ,are you saying that you didn't know ( with 1,026 posts) that 2017 was the only year that the Philly mint put a P mint mark on Lincoln Cents .It was discontinued in 2018 .

 I just read this on the mint site just recently why they put it on the cent that year. |

All you had to do is go on US Coin Facts on the sidebar.
All the info you needed was there.
