<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 902717, member: 66&quot;]Years ago you would sometimes find more than one mintmark punch used on a given years coins but I don&#039;t believe that has been true since the 1940&#039;s with the exception of 1979 and 1981 when the punch broke mid year.&nbsp; And it shouldn&#039;t happen again now that they no longer use punches to put the mintmarks on the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mintmarks CAN have a difference in size and appearance even when made using the same punch depending on the depth of the punch (punched deeper means a larger MM) or any tip or angle to the punch when it was hit by the mallet.&nbsp; Polishing of the die can also result in a change in the appearance of a mintmark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
