Achilles Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 09:35 am I came across the following coin and I don't really know what to make of it. Any thoughts? Is is possible for a mint mark to be this far off? Can't find anything on the web so I'd appreciate any feedback on it. Report this Post to the Staff

Achilles Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 11:35 am Thanks for the responses! Love this site, first time posting. Just seemed strange to me that there's no indentation/scratch mark/'plow' mark to show pushing onto the digit. I suppose a flat strike could do it but the 'D-bar' (for lack of a better term) isn't the same width of the '0' line and it appears straight, also, whatever hit it actually created another negative space (the inside of what would be a 'D'). I know you gentleman know what you're talking about but just curious, would anyone know of any other indicators on a cent like this that would identify the mint other then the mint mark itself?
