brickmasterjimmy Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 01:31 am Why does the mint mark look this way? It almost looks like it's one over another. Just guessing. That's why I come to y'all, so I don't have to guess. Thanks guys Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2975 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 06:13 am Looks like it is just a filled S mintmark to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 06:30 am A clearer closeup pic of that mintmark would help, but it looks a bit more like a D than a S to me. The post on the die that creates the middle of this letter was partly broken and this allowed metal to flow in a bit during striking. In more e theme cases (when that post is completely broken), the letter D would be completely filled in.

brickmasterjimmy Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 10:07 am Also, would this be considered a thin rim or wide rim? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21674 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 10:27 am That is the Narrow Rim. I believe the only Wide Rims are found on the P mint mark coins. Report this Post to the Staff
brickmasterjimmy Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 10:46 am Here is another view of the mint mark. Are y'all positive that this a D MM? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 11:25 am Looks like a die chip on the top of the 'S' mintmark. (yes there were 'S' mint business strike dollars that year. (not a proof coin) https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/0...153_2200.jpg Note on this image, it has the chip on the top of the mintmark. So it might have been from the same die.
