I work a little different - when cold, my level is just below the full mark - say 10mm below - but the downside is you can't see the level when hot, as it rises above the view finder.
I've run like this for 8 years without a problem, but the least you should do is get the coolant level at the halfway point when cold. I find its a lot easier to inspect every week or so when checking the oil level.
