1969 hi + lo "s' mint mark

Postby justoneguy » Sat May 28, 2011 10:46 am

I got this at a garage sale with a bunch of other stuff,
but I haven't seen this mentioned here before.
is it a keeper or just more copper?

The truth will set you free,
but first it's really going to piss you off.

mintmarks were placed on the dies by hand then so its no big deal to see it. I think they quit punching them by hand in 92???

Yep....you can even find some that are damn near touching the date!

It's common. Still cool to see the differences in placement of the mintmark.
