Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 08:16 am @nor, looks like this nickel was struck from tired dies and the post that forms the center of the letter D had broken off. When the coin was struck, the mintmark was already filled in. This is a legit mint error, but super-common and doesn't bring a numismatic premium. Of course, the cost of ownership is low, so save it if you want!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 2:33 pm Sometimes the post breaks off of the die and leaves an even larger void: Sometimes it rises above the devices showing how deep the void was after the post broke off of the die. CoopHome: What is a broken post? the post is what creates the void inside of the closed devices Report this Post to the Staff
