Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 10:21 pm Interesting though how much it resembles a 1990 + dated mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 10:28 pm You don't see many from back when that look like that MM... Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 07:23 am I just checked http://varietyvista.com/Denver%20Mi...s%20Cent.htm and it does look a little different but I think the MM punch was just abraded too much. Looks nice but I doubt it adds any value but I am no pro. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 09:12 am I'm still getting my feet wet and have a lot to learn about the series... Here's a side by side. This is a normal tolerance then? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 12:45 pm It can be caused by an overabraded die or a weak punch Report this Post to the Staff

liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 05:14 am Coop- you left out about 19 different types of appearance of the MM punch used for the '64-D cent shown. Do you want me to image and send you the rest? I could then start on the ten thousand different placements of the 60-D mm. I know someone's gonna ask..... Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 12:03 pm Each mint mark was done by hand on the dies for the mint marked locations. How many times they stike the punch into the die can affect the size/width/height/location/rotation of the mint mark. They were eye determined if they were struck deep enough. We are looking at the end result by examining coins. The 1960-D RPMs I'm very familiar with. I've taken a very large number of them through the years. That year is my favorite one for die varieties.

liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 02:46 am That's awesome Coop! You really have an ability to articulate what you already know. You're a valuable member for sure. I'm not giving you a hard time now, not at all. Could you share your insight in text along with your images? The two will be a powerful combination. Perhaps my dry sense of humor has gotten the better of me. Everything above is genuine, I really mean it as a compliment coop. You are a wealth of images, if you share what knowledge you also embody, it will further enrich everyone who reads. Edited by liveandievarieties 04/15/2011 09:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
ebm Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 09:13 am All jokes aside. No, there is usually no premium for a MM like that. As coop put it, those hand-punched MM can vary a lot in location, strength, rotation, etc... But just because there is no premium attached, doesn't mean it is not a cool MM for that year. *edited...phrased that wrong...came out badly Edited by ebm 04/15/2011 10:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
