[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1250338, member: 18157"]Here's a thread from 2005 that touches on this subject... [url]http://www.cointalk.com/t5019/[/url] In the response, [B]cdb1950 [/B]talks about the Mint Marks being hand punched prior to 1982 and mentions that the Mint went from punching the mint marks to placing them on the hub after that. I recall reading an article (in Coin World I believe) that talked about these mint marks braking free and producing dies with rogue mint marks. These errors are normally caught before any coins are actually produced. I'm trying to recall an article I "may have read" about a class of coins I don't collect...so I could be completely wrong. I'm just saying, don't spend your coin just yet. I'll go through my old magazines and see if I can find the article. When it comes to Coin Talk's "PMD Parrots"...trust, but verify.[/QUOTE]
