Previous to 1992, mintmarks were hand-punched into dies, so they would not be in the same place. After 1992, they were punched into the master die, so there won't be much, if any, movement.
 
thanks

Wow, what knowledge you can find out from t-netters! Thanks. Thought I knew everything about Lincoln pennies. Do folks collect them by different MM locations?
