jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 09/10/2025 09:25 am I found these pennies in change and their mint marks noteworthy. The 1987's D looks like it's about to fall off the coin. Both the 1988 and 1989's Ds seem to be inordinately large. Comments? Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1243 Posts	Posted 09/10/2025 10:56 am Looks about the same size as 89D's on PCGS (to me). Perhaps looks just a tiny scootch bigger. Added: Also looks similar to mint marks for 88/89 on VarietyVista. Edited by snailking1 09/10/2025 11:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
