Kennedy half’s mint mark

On the 1976 bicentennial mint mark is the one in the image normal? I find a lot of these with the mint mark like this. Starting to think it’s nirmal. Thank you as always.

    Normal enough, especially if you're finding a lot of them.

    There are different dies, and the MM on some might be
    stronger, flatter, 'filled' over time, etc.

    Not an error or die variety.

    Fred W. is the authority and I agree with his observation. I will add that sometimes the mint mark seems to get 'flattened' if the coin has been in a bag or handled a bit. It is a 'bump' in the field... Cheers, RickO
