Thanks for the continued help with coins. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 03:06 am I see what you are referencing, but it looks to be too large to be from a mintmark punch. If it is raised, then that excludes a dropped letter.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74876 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 1:19 pm Is the area incused? If it is, then it's most likely just damage from circulation wear. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
