Misplaced S mint mark?

Probably my first find with such misplacement on a S penny. Thoughts on this please. I Figure they are hand punched.

Looks smashed! Apologies on my Pictures. I dont have the best Camera

 

what are you seeing ? Looks normal to me except its a trumpet "s" .

 

Misplacement. meaning The MM being close to the Chest area. Is that considered bust?

 

You must keep in mind that the mintmark was hand-punched into the die until 1990. In this case, it's not "misplaced". It's just poorly placed. You should check out some of the Kennedy half dollars from the 70's. The mintmarks are all over the place.

 

Thank you CPM9BALL

 

it was the 70's man.
