When I was looking for a DDO, I noticed that where the mint mark should be, If indeed it was supposed to be there, there is a strange mark. Like the die was grease filled? Help please. Thanks Oh, and I'm new as of tonight. Having trouble getting help on the other forum. Report this Post to the Staff

Might be grease spot or other foreign matter on the die at time of the strike Edited by Fuzzy317 06/27/2012 04:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 5:22 pm Might it be a 74-S impaired proof? The mint mark looks like an S that has been hit. Does the coin have a proof-like appearance? Report this Post to the Staff
