josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 7:49 pm That mintmark is angled about 45 degrees CW from where it should be. Seems like the person creating the punch had a bad day that day. EDIT: As noted above, rotated MM punches are good markers for some doubled die varieties like on the 1989 LMC.
