Hi all
I am new to the coin adventure and would love some feedback on this coin I found. It's a 1970 d and on the reverse there's a ghost P to the top right of the eagles wing. There's also some other interesting marks within the leaves and "DOLLAR". Any thought on this and have you seen this before?

Thanks!!

to the best coin forum out there!

First question I think most will have it, is the 'P' raised from the field?

If it is incuse (below the surface), it'll most likely be someone trying to counterstamp the coin, or a bored kid in dad's workshop. Both of which would be called ' PMD' (Post-Mint Damage), which devalues the coin 99.99% of the time, and would in this case.

If it is raised, then it would be interesting, and not something I am knowledgeable enough on to really comment.

Others will be along soon enough!

Thank you for your thoughts and looking at wheaten it's raised or not, it appears it is very slightly. Here are a couple more close up pictures. They aren't great, but I am using my phone. hope this helps to the markings under the strike.

Thanks again and I absolutely love this forum!!

to the Forum. The P whatever it is, was put there after the coin was minted. There is such a thing as a Dropped Letter, but being closer to the size of the mintmark, it would've been on the obverse. Sorry, but this coin looks normal to me.
