Posts: 175 Blog Entries: 1 1986D tipped Jefferson mintmark. I think I asked this in the wrong forum. I would post a pic but have not figured how to here yet so could use a few tips on that also. I have a 1986d B.U. Jefferson nickel still in it's mint packaging that has the mintmark tipped over to the right and nearly touching the rim. I'm looking at the coin straight on with the bust straight up, so it is not a visual deception. Can anyone tell me if this is an error or was common for the date. Does it have any extra value? Just curious. Thanks a bunch.   04-03-2009, 04:47 PM   #2 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca. Posts: 2,742 My Mood: Good question and 'Welcome' to the forum I know that the mint mark was applied to the hub by hand and will vary in location on cents and probably on the nickel as well. I await the answer. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne   04-04-2009, 08:49 AM   #3 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,788 My Mood: Please post a photo - There are a few things that have popped into my mind on what this could be, but we will need to see photos to make sure...

So its position and orientation will vary. __________________ President, CONECA. Host, Error Coin Information Exchange, Yahoo:Groups.

Posts: 175 Blog Entries: 1 I would love to post a photo but apparently Coin talk will not accept Tiff's. I'm not sure how to convert them to Jpeg's. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. My scanner only does Tiff's that i'm aware of.   04-04-2009, 06:44 PM   #6 (permalink) zeke5 Member   Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 39 Pic's would help enourmously. __________________ Happiness is .99 change due   04-04-2009, 09:35 PM   #7 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,788 My Mood: send them to me... my work address is best.... salesAThilltopDOTnet Change the AT to @ and the DOT to the "."

Can't post a pic right now, but on mine it looks like the D has fallen on its side (towards the right).
