1986-D dime -- unusual mint mark position

Not a big deal by any means but I got this in change and the odd far right placement of the D popped out at me before I even had the coin in my pocket.
Most 86-D that I have seen the D is just over the center of the 6 or slightly between the 8 and 6.
This one is far to the right.

It's funny you would post this! I just finished looking through a box of Roosevelts. I went back to look for a 86d. I found one and your right. Here it is.![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/eh/9azvjpbi165n.jpg)

Mine looks as if it has a little bottom part of the D going past the vertical part of the D?![:/ :/](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/confused.png)

Yep... two different dies makes sense.
Interesting find.... Not sure I would have spotted that in change....good eye @mannie gray. Cheers, RickO
Obviously they are separate dies> @ricko said:
Thanks!
Coin collecting is one area where my extreme nearsightedness is an advantage.

I guess so.
Here's the Mintmark for '86d for Roosevelts. By Vista Coins. Why only one design shown when yours seems different?

Oh, ok. Thanks! One thing to wonder? Which design has the lower mintage? Your's or the latter?
Interesting

Check out 1926-S Lincolns. (I believe that's the date with all the wild positions).

There would be many different dies for the 86-D. The fact that there seems to be 2 different types of the "D" is interesting.
I meant that the 'misplaced D' mintmarks
were different, so 2 diff dies with those
two diff. mm locations. I wasn't referring
to the shape of the MM, just the placement
of it, on those two dies.
The Mints use thousands of dies every year.
