    Hey all, I was digging through some Kennedy's and found a very weird mint mark.... It almost looks like a "Support your troops" ribbon.... Not sure.... Help me out on this one.

    You know, back when the coin came out people were concerned that that was a "hammer and sickle"

    Mint mark (1968 to present) would be on the coin surface just below the portrait. 1965, 1966, and 1967 no mint marks placed on coins. 1964 to left of olive branch on reverse. The ever shifting/ disappearing mint mark.
