<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 529299, member: 66&quot;]Better try clearing things again.&nbsp; Displaced means to be moved from its current location.&nbsp; So a displaced mintmark would be one that has been hit and shoved to one side, in other words damaged.&nbsp; Misplaced means to either be lost, or to be placed in a location other than the one it is intended to be in.&nbsp; Well the mintmark isn&#039;t lost and since other dies have the mintmark in that same location then it is proper and the mintmark is not misplaced.&nbsp; You just might use the term misplaced for mintmarks that overlap other design features because in most cases that is NOT where the mintmark is intended to be.&nbsp; (On some early gold coins the mintmark is large and the area it was to be placed in was small and it wasn&#039;t possible ot not overlap design details.&nbsp; Those mintmarks would be normal not &quot;misplaced&quot;)&nbsp; But if it is just touching the details it may still be consider to be properly placed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
