Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/03/2024 8:04 pm Mint marks were punched into the die by hand during that era, so their location can vary widely. This is an unusual placement, but probably not worth a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/04/2024 04:07 am Alonzowick90, Mint marks were hand punched on each working die until 1990 when they were added to the master die, so placement will vary till 1990. Yours is within mint tolerance. More research needed on your part. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
