spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 11:11 pm I thought that may be the question. It is basically a small die chip. The tiny "post" on the die that creates the center of the D on the coin broke off the die and left a void in the design that filled with metal when struck. So, you can say it's a "filled" mintmark. It's pretty common. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/13/2017 2:28 pm More known for that year is the damaged mint mark punch on the lower serif: This is not a chipping issue. A chipping issue on the die would leave a raised area on the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
