josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 4:28 pm Mintmarks were hand punched into the dies all the way up until 1990, when they were included in the master dies themselves. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19208 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 4:30 pm Being a hand punched mint mark, I don't believe this is (was) an error. Back in the day, mint mark location (and angular rotation) would vary some. Edited by ijn1944 07/30/2020 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
woppagiorgio New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 5:20 pm Wow, that is great to know. I'm fairly new and still learning so I appreciate those facts. Now I may be reading to far into it, but is it possible that it is a 'S/D's error or are my eyes playing tricks on me. Once again thank you for any input. Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 5:40 pm I see a normal S mintmark that is just rotated a little from the hand punch. Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 5:21 pm Those are pretty crazy. I think its neat and would save it just to show people. The S mint marks in that year can have the tops and bottoms touching the middle as the die wears. Report this Post to the Staff
