<p>[QUOTE="expat, post: 24659344, member: 111067"]Welcome to CT. Firstly I am not seeing from your images any signs other than die deterioration and circulation wear. The mintmarks were handpunched into the die in those days, so differences in position and slight tilting was absolutely normal. None of them would be errors anyway as their description would be re-punched mintmark (RPM). Just like a variety, the die would have produced thousands and thousands of coins with the identical look until the die was withdrawn at the end of it´s useful life.</p><p>I would suggest you read up on the minting process and how dies were made, the difference between errors and varieties, and then study the many pages of the same subject on the errors forum pages. There you will see many questions like yours and the answers from the many knowledgeable members here.</p><p>Happy research and good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
