Titles are Important! * Just going through change in my purse to see if anything stood out. This one looked like a blob until I put it under the scope. What do you think?

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 12:03 am The 79D mintmark was called "the dot" because the punch was so overused it was damaged on the inside post(broke off) and the lower left corner was broke off too. What you have is a contact hit on "the dot"...LOL! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 3:16 pm If it were an over mint mark, the 'S' would be hidden under/behind the mint mark: But on your coin, it is not like that at all. There was a contact mark from another coin/something else that altered the mint mark. In 1979 the only 'S' mint mark used, then were on proof coins. So this is just PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
