*pendejo*(= pubic hair.) i'll have to look into it but I've heard that before, just couldn't verify it cause I couldn't find consensus from spanish speaking people. my name is a reference to 'Idiocracy' so I wouldn't doubt that it likely translates to a dumb/funny term. |

I wondered if you have a clash on the obverse and could find the overlay. Made a new one and later found the old one, dumped it and kept this one:    Doesn't look like a match on the area of the nose to the jaw. Edited by coop

Made a new one and later found the old one, dumped it and kept this one i'll try and get a better picture but I'm inclined to believe those who say it was damage because it appears over several letters. I ordered one of those cheap usb microscopes and I plan to go over everything with that but I'm thinking about trying out a few of the phones I have at my disposal in the meantime and if I can get a better photo of both sides i'll share it. |

An incuse mark on a coin is 99% of the time, damage to the coin. Only 1% of the time it is a mint error. While there are a lot of different errors, damage is mostly the cause that altered coins. Here is a site that covers these mint errors: http://www.error-ref.com/It will probably take a month of reading just to scratch the surface of what is there. But well worth the read. |

)).jpg) I still needed a little more clarification and using the term "incuse devices" instead of "incuse mark" I found more information and ended up finding this gem on google: https://goccf.com/t/353014That explains everything so much more clearly, and it turns out you're the author as well so I feel like you were holding out. But seriously, thanks for the help. I almost feel bad for wasting your time, but I do very much appreciate it. |

The MM on your coin would not be incuse.
That MM, like all primary MM's, is raised above the field just like Washingtons bust or the other letters.
(The die which strikes the coin is the opposite of course to produce the raised design on the coin.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I see that it's raised above the field but I saw it as the outline of the "D" being pressed into the field around the nub that forms the inside, but I get what you mean because it's still above the flat part. |

The reason the center of the mintmark is not formed is that the post that would have formed the center of 'D' has broken off the die. Thus that incuse area inside of the mintmark was not formed because of the missing post. The missing post area is now a void. Thus the reason why it is filled in.

I'm pretty sure I have a philly mint filled as well and I've only got like 3 or 4 P mint mark quarters. i'd just never paid attention before and I'm thinking it's more common on quarters cause I don't think I've come across any pennies like that. |
