David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 12/05/2023 3:52 pm Hi all, I have 2 1960 D Lincoln Memorial coins. Both appear to be the large date however the D is in a different position. I do not think this is a small over large date variety. Has anyone noticed this before? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 12/05/2023 5:00 pm Mint marks used to be punched in by hand, into the dies, with 1989 being the last year. So mint mark positions varied. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 12/05/2023 7:45 pm OK. Given the location variances could be infinite, I guess mint mark position is not classes as a die variety? Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/06/2023 05:50 am If the mintmark is dramatically misplaced there can be some collector interest. There were some Lincoln's from the mid 50's where the mm slightly lapped over onto the bottom of the 5 in the date , and some Mercury dimes with the mm lapping onto the bottom leaf. These are more or less curiosities and collector interest and value reflects this. I do know of one modern exception.
