I think it's called Pareidolia. It's where your mind puts visual clues together and makes you see stuff that isn't there or that you want to see.


I liked that explanation so much, I made it my signature!

In order for it to be a RPM or OMM (Over-Mint-Mar) they would have to raised on the coin. Not incuse on the coin. Mint mark varieties are punched into the die. So if they are incuse looking like something, they are not a mint mark variety.

They need to rise from the surface of the coin, because the mint marks are punched into the die (incuse) raised on a coin. So if it isn't raised or level with the surface, then your brain is playing tricks on you.
Rest in Peace
