Sorry if pictures aren't that great. In case it's hard to see it, it's like a blob on top of a damaged mint mark? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 1:31 pm It looks like a "D" that the post had broken off the die (that normally forms the center of the mint mark) and it is now starting a die chip under the mint mark.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 1:36 pm It's probably a D. There is no MM for Philidelphia and there is an S MM for the proof coins. The proof coins have a different rim with a more squared-off appearance. So, it's a probably a D. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 1:37 pm It can only be a D, P mintmarks were not used on business strikes until 1980 with the exception of 1942-45 War Nickels and the 1979 SBA dollar.
