New Record For Most Wheat Pennies In One Box + 1958-D Error

[Quin]

It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and do a coin roll hunt. This week, I decided to pick up a box of pennies to ease myself back into it, and I was not disappointed!



27 wheats in total, including a peculiar 1958-D. The reason I say this is because the mintmark appears to be further to the left than normal and slightly rotated. Unfortunately, I don't have my loop with me so this is as good of a picture as I was able to get of it. Is this something worth looking into? Let me know what you think.

Here is the video for those that are interested. This was a really fun hunt, thanks for checking it out!

In 1958, mint marks were applied to final working dies by the individual mints. Since they were manually stamped in the dies, quite a lot of variation in boldness and positioning exists.

Also, your images appear blurred on both my phone and computer, so there is no way I can make a judgement on your particular coin.

Time for more coffee.

not over the plate-- high inside pitch
if it's in "spec", but good catch, wait for Huntsman to make the call

huh...they're not showing up blurry to me. But yes, that is what I've read about mint marks during that time.

Unless its an RPM, I don't believe there would be a premium; but, I'll let the more seasoned veterans chime in on their thoughts. Good hunt though!
