TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 12:31 am I'm interested in the mintmark. I don't have any info but that is a very odd D. If it were a nickel from the 1950's people would be saying stuff like it's a D over S but in this case, the S is a proof die and that seems unlikely. Must be a damaged die but it is pretty neat. Hope somebody chimes in with some solid info on this. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 12:33 am Hello again! If you're in reference to the 7 and MM, looks like Die Deterioration and shearing MD. Note the upper bar of 7, the shearing reduces the original size of digit. The D is wear on dies, starting of Grease Fill or chipping inside. Report this Post to the Staff
artstaz Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 12:36 am Thank you guys. Yes, I was referring to the mint mark D. It looked to me like it was stamped over something else. I'm learning as I go. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 12:54 am Yeah, it must be die wear on the mintmark. Maybe a couple of tiny chips?
