It was relatively easy for them to align the mintmark, horizontally, for the Lincoln because they used the 2nd &amp; 3rd digits of the date for reference but the vertical alignment was a little bit of guesswork.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to get an idea of how erratic the placement could be, take a look at a lot of the 70&#039;s half dollars. There isn&#039;t any lettering or date to use as a reference, so the mintmark could be close to Kennedy&#039;s neck, further to the right or high or low.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
