Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 22519 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 08:45 am It is pretty small, it could be that the Mint worker didn't hit the Die punch very hard, resulting in a shallow MM, or could be a partially grease filled MM on the die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 2028 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 10:00 am The Mint did not make different size mint marks for that year so observation from above commits are the only answer. Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 2028 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 10:13 am Comments not commits, brain is still asleep. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2544 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 11:53 am I'm thinking die abrasion would have this effect. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3088 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 12:38 pm shrug, that D looks within normal size range for 1970 Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 1:32 pm Thank you all for your quick response and excellent knowledge. I also appreciate the photo examples. I am now sure the marks are a result of reed strike damage. That said, I will shortly post an image of an unusual non error coin, which is made unique (not valuable) by reed strike damage.
