    OBW Roll 1958 D Cent Mint marks are Very High (Pics)

    I bought a Original Bankroll Wrapped roll of 1958 D Cents. These coins look as though they were minted yesterday. Most pristine roll I've ever opened. Strang thing is the mint mark on most of the coins and the reverse. The mint mark is very high..almost touching the 9 in many cases. And on the reverse the "O" in one is smashed in at the 11:00 position and E. PLURIS is almost ilegable in many cases when the mint mark is so high. But the rest of the devices look awesome. Also the "58" in 1958 looks slightly doubled to me in some cases.Anyone ever seen this before?

    Please look at pictures and the mint mark position. Three different coins.

    Compare to this 1958 D Sold on Teletrade.

    before 1990 the mint marks wer applied to the working dies by hand. So long as the mint mark is below thw date and not touching the bust or the rim it is considered within specs.
