Just wanted a second opinion. I know that the mint mark was placed by an engraver in a “zone” so markings can vary slightly. To me this p seems not only aligned over the 8, but at an angle too. Would this still be in the margin of error for a mint mark. Here is another 1989 P for comparison.
The mintmark was punched into the die by hand until 1990. To my knowledge, I know of no tolerance for "misplaced" mintmarks. If you want to see some examples of wide variances, look at a lot of Kennedy half dollars from the 70's.

Based on the fact that many of us are old farts, I think that CT should provide some rocking chairs for us.
I agree with 9ball. Make mine with a 4 inch memory foam pad for both my back and butt okay, thanks Santa...
Also, can it be one of those that rises up to my butt and it has to have refrigerated cup holders, a pocket for the remote, humidity controlled pop-up drawers for coin storage, etc. you get my point?
Rocking chairs would be a bit much...strain the equilibrium...since they 've already given out bobble heads to some of the movers and shakers on this forum....
You have to remember, there are errors and errors. Possibly any misplacement of a mint mark could be considered an "error", although, like the "strike box" in baseball, there should be some limits (I don't know them). Most of these wouldn't have any premium value though. However upside-down "s", rpm (re-punched mint mark) and one mint mark over another are valuable.
