This is a regular(?) 1985 D penny for reference. This is the penny with the Slanted Mint mark.   07-04-2009, 06:30 PM   #2 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: That's not an error it's really not unusual for it to be considered an error Joe   07-04-2009, 08:43 PM   #3 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca. Posts: 2,076 My Mood: Mint marks were hand punched untill 1990, so anywhere in the area is acceptible. __________________ A man's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink. W. C.

I am definitely going to invest in some books. Thanks for all your help!   07-05-2009, 12:07 AM   #5 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca.

If MM were hand punched until 1990, then it is possible to have MD on just the MM and not the date? May sound like a stupid ?, but I was wondering.   07-05-2009, 08:32 AM   #7 (permalink) ziggy9 Coin Collector     Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Pats country! Posts: 1,672 My Mood: Machine doubling can happen anywhere on a coin and yes it can happen on just one device. The more important item that happens is a Repunched Mintmark where the first strike doesn't leave a strong enough mintmark and they have to strike it again. there are some nice doubled and tripled mint marks out there. check out www.coppercoins.com for examples.

But, I was asking this question because of a different post. This coin on another post has a MM with what I think is just MD, but the guy insists that the whole date would have to be MD as well. I didn't think so, because before 1990 the MM were added afterwards.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
