Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74592 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 01:38 am Mintmark placement was fine as long as it was under the date. Although, it's pretty cool still. I haven't seen a mintmark that close before. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 2:20 pm You would think they would have someone doing the placement that would get it right or at least close all the time. After all you don't get a second chance at it. If I were supervisor of either of those craftsmen, I would have to slap them up behind the head. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 6:07 pm If any of you are familiar with Alan Herbert's PDS System "Official Price Guide to MINT ERRORS". The 1953S & 1954S LWC's are in Division II. II-C-16 Displaced Mintmark (touching another design element) on page 134 "A Displaced Mintmark is defined as: A mintmark letter, symbol, or digit that was cut, punched, or hubbed in the die far enough out of the normal position so that it is touching some other part of the design on the struck coin." The II-C Class has 18 different definitions pertaining to Mintmark errors. This is a must have book for error collectors The OP's images of the 1964D are in class II-C-18 "Normal Mintmark". Why Mr. Hebert has a normal mintmark classed as an error is somewhat of a mystery to me other than it's a starting point for comparison. The other 17 are not normal (AKA the guy punching the mintmark was having a bad day or had a bad night). Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
