Is this a misplaced mintmark?

I wouldn't think so. Starting in 1990, the mintmark was added to the master die, therefore eliminating the possibility of a coin to have a repunched or misplaced mintmark.
Keep up the hunt!

 

sure looks like a double over P to me

 

Look at the date... While I cannot recall the exact year in which this would be impossible, being as it is in the 90's, I highly doubt it.

 

1989 was the last year (at least for cents) that a coin could have an RPM. The mint started adding the mintmarks to the master die in 1990.

 

+1

 

I'm think there might of been a chip in the die, causing this to happen.

 

Yeah, it's a die chip then. Thanks guys! Wasn't sure on the exact date of pre-fab MMs.

 

The cent is the one denomination I was sure of, but thank you nonetheless.

 

Certainly a keeper in my book, if just for coolness factor!

 

But the cent was the last coin to have the mintmark moved to the master hub.

 

It is most likely a greased die that the grease fell out, and was in the MM "P" and was struck into the following coins.


Value?

Here: Nada.

On eBay?

Priceless
