<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1274489, member: 15199&quot;]Up to the modern process used in the last few decades, mintmarks were hand punched into the dies before use, after the rest of the coin features were on the die. So as long as the mm is below the date, and in that &quot;triangle &quot; between the coat and the rim, it is considered normal and no premium. It it actually enters into the date, coat, or rim, there is a premium, but not big, maybe a 10-25%, but not one of those coins on eBay selling at ridiculous premiums. If the setter mis strikes the first time and tries a 2nd or even a third time, RPM ( repunched mintmarks may occur, which depending on their amount of separation may be much higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
