With a few notable exceptions (e.g. the "micro S"), I thought that the mm punch was pretty standard in size and it was the choosing of the location on the die that was done by hand.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/24/2018 04:34 am I have noticed for many years now that 1978 D has small and large sized mint marks. Did some research a long time ago on it and found nothing. I still keep the ones that are in really nice condition though,never know. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
