  1. Yes each of the 3 mints varied just a little.currently there are only 2 mints minting coins for our use . thanks


  2. Dies do make mistakes, but without a picture, it's hard to tell if what you have is a valuable error or not.  Here's one site that explains what happens when the pennies are made, and how an error can occur:

    If you really want to know if your coin is valuable, then I would recommend taking the coin to a coin collector (like one of those pawn shop places) and seeing what they have to say.
