Joshu - a Pillar of the Community United States 585 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 3:44 pm I looked on the internet. It is a normal sized mintmark. It looked awful small to me, but I guess they were all that way that year. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 5:21 pm the mint mark does not appear to be raised above the surface as much as the year, which can happen if the mint mark was not punched hard into the die, or if subsequent die polishing wore down the surface around the mark Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95099 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 7:39 pm I'll have to agree with the statements up above. A weak punch with the MM punch or over polishing the field can reduce the size of the devices. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
