coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 4:05 pm This is common. It is when the devices are touching the date area, then it is a variety. On the 1956-D cents, there was a die that showed a Punch on the devices, but also a second punch on the other area. It was an extreme example of this: On the later die states they were polished off the die, but the location would still identify the Die, but without the RPM, they were not as valuable: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=eds https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds 1959D-1MM-021 But there was a miss placed example that are listed on this same site: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds Note on this one, it is one the last '9' on the 1959-D cents.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 7:40 pm yep these older coins had the MM hand punched, so the location can move around a little bit. Collecting since 1972.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 2:57 pm Collectors really like when the mint mark is actually touching the date. They are not very common but do happen and you find them time to time. Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
