Message:: [QUOTE="Greg M., post: 3708870, member: 85827"]In the early to mid 1960s when I started collecting Lincoln cents from circulation, the small and large date varieties were the only varieties then known of the 1960 cents. I managed to accumulate 2 ½ rolls from circulation, and stored them away and concentrated on collecting other series, only paying attention to my Lincoln set when updating with each new year issue. Recently, after finding out about the other 1960 cent varieties discovered in the years since I finished my collection, I searched through those plastic tubes of 1960-D small dates hoping to find the valuable 1960 D/D small over large date variety. No luck with that coin, but I began to notice several cents with the D mint mark in different positions relative to the date. As seen here, one (on the left) has the D mint mark up close and centered under the date; on the other (right) the D appears to be very slightly to the right of center and further down from the date. Initially thinking of these as “high D” and “low D” coins but finding no listings under these terms, I suspect these are actually the small date low nine (on left) and high nine (on right) varieties? Thanks for your help. Greg M.[ATTACH=full]994129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]994130[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
