Bored one2014 Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 01:29 am I tried to find info online about this coin with little success. What's up with the mint mark being in a lower position ? Also looks dd. And the reverse is deformed but I see a lot of them online that resemble this. Fill me in please Report this Post to the Staff

Prior to 1980 mint marks were individually applied by hand (die punch) to each new working die so there is some variation in their specific location. Yours is within expected tolerance. If you like it keep it but there is no numismatic premium for it. Your image is out of focus - but also looks like the interior of the D mint mark contains a die chip (broken post) which fills part of the letter. edit for spllgening Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 01/14/2023 04:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
