<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikeellis, post: 1649543, member: 17670&quot;]I stand by what I said. Mintmarks were hand punched into working dies in Philladelphia and shipped to the branch mints in 1969. Therefore, the punch itself is raised to impart an incuse mintmark on the working die. It could very easily be a broken mintmark punch. Also, I never said anything about it being an S mintmark. The original poster did but I did not. I do, however, agree it is possible damage. Again, to determine if it is altered or damaged, I would have to see the coin.</p><p>Mike Ellis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
