Safetylady12 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 10:12 am I have looked online everywhere but cannot find anything similar. There is clearly something stamped under the "0" of 1970. At first I thought it was dirt causing it to look that way. But after looking under a magnifying glass it is definitely a raised spot. Maybe a misplaced mint mark that was stamped over? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 10:26 am Might be a 70/71 which means the Mint went ahead in time, got pennies from the future and stamped new dates on them. Kidding of course. Just looks like something from the Mint. Not sure how this happens but I've found lots of coins with weird little additions like that. I'm sure another member will explain it better. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 1:16 pm Raised area inside the 0? That is a die gouge. Remember that everything is a reversed image on the die of what you see as a coin. The flat field areas(including the inside of devices) are actually the surface of the dies. The devices are incused(indented). If the surface becomes scratched, that indention translates into a raised area on the coin. Die breaks are portions broken off the edges of the devices and pieces broken off anywhere else become die chips. Report this Post to the Staff
