I was looking back over a stack of half dollars I've accumulated, most of which are not in great condition. I came across two 1944 S walking liberties and the mint marks looked odd to me. I've posted a picture of each and the MM's look to be in different positions. One looks very near the 'alcove' of the reverse image. The other further away. I was wondering if this is normal or something else. Just curious so I thought I'd check in with this forum for opinions / advice. Thanks for your help. Danny. Report this Post to the Staff
