    That is great advice; exactly what I needed to know. I’m starting from an odd place. My brother-in-law passed away leaving me his coin collection containing coins such as 1878 Morgan silver dollars, mercury dimes, WWII era cents, etc. He didn’t label any of them as to why he saved them! I’ve been wading through about a hundred coin so far, and being so new at it, I have millions of questions. Your advice was sorely needed.

    I’ve got a lot to learn. Funny, when I saw it and thought it was novel, I have to admit that my heart skipped a beat. Maybe it will be the next coin. Or the one after that. Or the one after that.

    Thanks for the rapid response. Your explanation makes sense (and explains why a google search wouldn’t have helped me). I thought the vertical line was out of alignment. I was hoping for an over mint mark but that sounds impossible the way they are currently made. Lesson learned. Thanks again for your response.

    Hello All, Jim the Newbie here. Thanks to the moderators and commenters on this site. I have a 2005-D penny with an odd mint mark. I haven’t been able to identify this type of mint mark through Google so I need help. Is the mint mark an error? Thank you.
