I just picked up a few 1958-D rolls and there are several of these D touching the 9 in the date in there. Bad Denver mint day I guess because over half the coins in the 2 rolls I opened are errors (D/D, grease-filled-die, etc.). I only have a few that are just perfect BU with no 'issues'.  |

ShinyCoins101,  to CCF. You should start your own thread.Too much glare to see if the mint mark is touching the 9 or not. John1  |

To CCF! Since mint marks back then used to be punched in by hand, the mint marks position would vary in location. Errers and Varietys.

You know how all the letters have sort of a 'ramp' around them before going back flush to the planchet? The 'ramps' meet before going flush. I'm more excited by these. I only have ~20 so far :D  |

FYI - Mint marks were added to working dies by hand until 1989. Their target area was below the date and to the right of the bust, so they could be almost anywhere, or upside-down, or sideways.

Noted on the MM placement (I'd love to have an upside down one in my birth year - 1972. Clearly that was a bad year for the world :D ). That being said, the MM so close to the date is a curiosity. I'm asking $5 on ebay for a coin that's also MS/BU right from a Brink's roll. I kept a D/D/D as my 1958-D with mint luster because I think it's cool. Really it's up to the collector what they want and value, and a thing is only worth what someone will pay for it. I do try to avoid error coins because that is a bottomless pit. I want a fancy 1955 DDO - but really only because I know it has such value (Greed, not actual interest). I have a "copper" 1943-S Wheat that sticks to a magnet. I know it's plated. It still a cool conversation piece - and will never be posted as anything other FYI.  |
