So I see this weird raised part from fields of the coin that shouldn't be raised under the 1999 date. I think it might be some sort of D mint mark. I believe mint marks were not hand punched in this year. I know that previously all mint marks were hand punched resulting in coins having slight deviation in were the mint mark was. I thought that maybe this was a piece of crud but it looks like a raised part of the coin in a "D" symbol. What do you think? The problem is that if this is a D penny than that's a problem because I looked at a normal 1999 D penny and well the deviation is huge in location of the mint mark and the thickness of the D, but this deviation shouldn't exist since they weren't hand punched lol!
Normal 1999 D Below:
I think the D in my weird coin is facing the wrong way and is a 180 degree rotation of the D lol
Even a pin jerk could cause this to happen. (I noted the location was wrong for a mint mark issue. with all the mint marks now on the master dies, the locations will be the same for each year since 1990.
