As it appears that the date was stamped over it, you can see the line of the six going over the mass(well, trying to, it is on the right side of the mass). Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 9:26 pm Doesn't matter, that's not where they stamped the mint mark. It is, however, a place known in Lincolns to be susceptible to die chips. Leads me to think this is a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:54 am Thank you guys, I to thought when looking at it from the left side it looks like a D because it has the middle "hole" like the D, and takes on the shape of a smushed D. But looking at it from the right side it shows the portion of the "6", so it appears to be stamped on the mass. Sorry, I thought it was a misplaced mintmark. Even if it is a Die chip, It is so cool because it looks a little 3-D. Report this Post to the Staff
