While coin role searching I found this 1970 s penny. It seems that the mint mark is much closer than any of the other 1970 pennies that I have looked through. I could not find anything that looked like this on Coppercoins.com. I'm curious if this coin has any significance. Thank you,
I heard that the mint Mark was hand punched on there. Don't no the correct term but that's why they are all in different places.
1989 was the last year the US mint hand punched the coins. Some of the nickels from the early 70's carry a premium for the mint marks being this close to the date. I've seen a picture of a mint ma I am not sure on the terminology either.
Thank you two. It seemed so odd when I first saw it I thought it might have a chance of being something special. Oh well. I'll hold on to it anyway.
