Firebird17732 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 02:03 am Is there a term for the small, raised "dot" next to the F in FIVE on the reverse of this 1941D Nickel? And what causes it? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Slight damage seems more likely to me, but hard to say for sure.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 1:37 pm That is what they are called. Die dots. An area breaks away from the die, then becoming a pot hole, on the die, leaving a raised area on the coins. Note the heavy die flow lines below that area. So the die was already aging at this point in its life. Report this Post to the Staff
