Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/04/2021 9:33 pm Are you talking about the D mintmark being a bit tilted? If so then that's acceptable as Mint Marks were still Hand punched in 78 Report this Post to the Staff

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 05/04/2021 11:59 pm I like this one. May not be the million dollar coin, but still quite fun to look at. I would keep that in a 2x2. I like a crooked MM. Thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff
