So they are displaced mintmarks. No arguement here. I do argue that they aren't worth anything more than any other coin of the date and mint unless there's some other reason for the value, such as a doubled die, repunched mintmark, or an error of some sort.

Also you might find that the term 'displaced mintmark' generally refers to mintmark doubling in which the secondary mintmark is completely removed from the primary mintmark and touch another design element. They do not include mintmarks that are punched within the tolarated area that happen to touch a device.

Anyhow, my offer is open and on the table. I will begin putting a couple of rolls of 'displaced mintmarks' together this evening, and should have them done by the end of the week.

I personally don't think I would buy one of these, only because I like the thrill of finding one in a roll search. The only coins I buy are the ones I cannot find such as anything prior to 1920 (usually.)

That reminds me...I thought I would mention...I finally filled the holes in my small cent collection with the exception of the grand daddy of them all...the 1856 Flying Eagle. I am saving for it though. Wish me luck!
