Dig_North007 New Member Canada 19 Posts	Posted 02/09/2014 10:59 am Yes there's one other one under the A, also on the other side there's mint mark indications way above the date. I have my doubts but do appreciate any insite. I have been to the LM website but no luck there finding similar punch marks. On the coin it's self you can see that the back of the letter D, the straight part is more raised than the front. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/09/2014 11:40 am Not sure but sort of looks like a meessed up die at the Mint. I doubt it was a Mint Mark but does look like a D. Really odd. Report this Post to the Staff
larrytw Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 02/09/2014 10:39 pm Possibly a dropped letter error. Arnold Margolis mention this error in his book. Caused by a lamination from another coin flaking off then pressed into next coin. Making a single error coin. Report this Post to the Staff
