PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 4:54 pm Should be clear enough to see the mint mark. But it looks to me the D is in its wrong placement. Am I seeing right? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 5:24 pm Don't forget the MM was hand punched so they could be anywhere in that area. There is probably well over 100,000 or however many were struck before that particular die wore out that were minted. Edited by JimmyD 03/11/2019 5:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 5:58 pm Ok. I see what your saying. I looked up other 69 nickels and their mint marks besides an S mint I saw. So I figured it could be out of its original placing. Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 6:01 pm Looks like there could be some doubling though. The 6 and the mint looks doubled. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 6:28 pm Just DDD, common on all nickels because of their strong metals Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 6:35 pm Mintmark placement vaired, since they were punched in by hand until 1990. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 11:05 pm Thought the MM placement was kind of low, until I search up one lower. In the process found an interesting Coinweek article unrelated to MM placements, but is related to 1969-D Jefferson nickels. Thanks, Doug. https://coinweek.com/coins/coin-pro...rson-nickel/ Edited by Halo1st 03/11/2019 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/12/2019 1:19 pm Ok. Thanks. I thought it was off mark and being that its tilted made me even more curious. Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 6:21 pm Im pretty new to the Coin World and would like someones opinion if feasable. I have a 1969 D which looks in uncirculated condition. The definition and details are excellent and barely any hits marks or wear on it. I even took a picture of the steps to see if there are 5 steps but Not sure. Any help out there? Greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 6:40 pm As far as steps go I cant make out one full step in the current images. The memorial as a whole seems a bit mushy or worn. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 03/13/2019 6:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 7:05 pm Very normal coin in every way. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 08:38 am Thanks guys. This is another reason I thought it would be an uncirculated coin being how it compares to other obviously circulated nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
PaulF01 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 10:13 am Hello CC. I took better pictures of the steps and I can count at least 3-4 steps. I can also see them with the naked eye if I look closely. Hope these pics help. The details on the coin are very good for a 1969 nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 6:52 pm The steps have to go all the way across, unbroken. As mentioned this coin doesn't have a single step that does that. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 9:01 pm When I was looking at the graded examples of full steps, they seldom looked like full ones to me. I gave up looking years ago. But I think they are looking to see if the incuse (risers of the steps) area of the steps needs to be full. (not the tops) I looked at many examples years ago and that is what I feel they are counting. The risers, not the raised step areas. I gave up on them. They are more of a strike issue, not a variety coin. So I gave up on them and the full bell lines. Report this Post to the Staff
