CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 10:40 pm It looks like something hit the coin after mint PMD. Just my opinion. Edited by CoinMasters 03/28/2015 10:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Local stress of the plating may well lead to zinc rot. I also find it a bit odd, with the variation of the line thickness of the 'D'. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2015 11:10 am Does the west side of the 9 look like it took a hit? If so it may have received a bag mark that damaged the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
