Ham and Egger Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 6:49 pm Here is a example of a 1990 P quarter in which the Mint mark is much lower and closer to the pony tail than shown on coin facts examples. Any input is always appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 10:14 pm The MM is the same for every Quarter Dollar made in 1990, as the last year of hand punched mintmarks was 1989. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 11:59 pm Actually, if I'm not mistaken, hand-punched mintmarks continued into 1990 for some denominations. I think only the cents and nickels stopped in '89 and the rest in '90, but don't quote me on that. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
Ham and Egger Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 3:19 pm Thanks for the explanation, All other examples I have seen are slightly north and away from the obverse design. Just looking for input. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 9:26 pm More food for thought (including some resources) concerning the timeline or transition from manually punched mint marks. http://goccf.com/t/338642&SearchTer...thanks,,doug Note: I was not present to witness the transition(s) first hand, but considering the resources, I believe some merit should be taken into consideration. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 12/26/2020 9:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/27/2020 12:43 am According to another forum, hand-punched mintmarks on quarters changed sometime in the early 1990's. So the OP's "much lower and closer" quarter is perfectly normal, so no premium, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
