Sorry but the pic is far too small. Try shooting through a loupe to isolate the mint mark.

1st Get the Gimp, it's free and awesome! http://www.gimp.org2nd When you shoot though your loupe use your digital zoom on the camera and zoom in, use lots of light and get real close. Works like a charm. |

I think it's PMD. The left edge of the "tilted mint mark" is too ragged. |

Hi Coop, it looks like it was double stamped and when the second stamp went over the other it spred out somewhat causing it to look ragged. Its not really ragged but mushroomed.

PMD. I think it's the other way. The lower (secondary) device is in the original position and the higher (primary) device was pushed to the right.

You can see the contact mark on the 1-9-mint mark. All from the same hit. Try looking at an image close up and place a toothpick over the coin. When we look closely at a coin, we think a large area is covered until we place an object that gives the eye perspective.
