    Just as coins with misplaced dates in the denticles or the design have a normal date in the normal position as well, misplaced mint marks can appear in the torch as well as next to the torch.

    There's a nice closeup photo of one in an ANACS slab in this ebay auction.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    The key word being: "trace."
