I can clearly see a faint mintmark halfway between the mintmark and rim but slightly closer to the rim. What do y'all think? This is about the only picture where it is detectable. If I zoom out, it looks like something else entirely. Edited by shaney777 02/28/2018 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 02/28/2018 6:01 pm The doubling you are seeing here on the MM and other devices such as on the date are due to DDD. Die Deterioration Doubling.If you look at the MM it is not a FULL and complete MM it is damaged and flat. Edited by Chase007 02/28/2018 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
shaney777 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 02/28/2018 6:23 pm I am seeing something about halfway between the mintmark and rim but slightly closer to the rim. Sorry, I probably should have explained it better! I edited the original post to reflect those changes. Edited by shaney777 02/28/2018 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/02/2018 11:32 am Thanks for clarifying. A dropped letter would be incuse. I think it's just a case of coincidental molecular structure. Maybe you're looking too close? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/02/2018 9:22 pm If it were a mint mark, it would be raised. It not, so it not another mint mark. The shape isn't exactly like the mint mark punch either. It swoops down, where the mint mark curves upwards in an ark. Report this Post to the Staff
