salazarspanish New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 3:18 pm Hi, I was looking through my wheat pennies again, and I found this weird-looking 1958-D penny. The "D" mint mark looks like it is extremely close to the "9" in "1958." Also, there seems to be some extra metal to the right of the D. Again, I'm no expert, so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Their target area was below the date and to the right of the bust, so they could be almost anywhere, or upside-down, or sideways. Report this Post to the Staff
