I'm thinking its one of those watermarks that show up on these coins, but I wanted someone else to take a look and tell me what they thought. Thanks Mitch Report this Post to the Staff

nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 4:31 pm I have a coin with a D out of place also (D is on the shoulder) I was told it was called a dropped die and didn't really add value to the coin. I will try to post a picture if I can find it in my penny collection. Report this Post to the Staff

It's when your mind puts visual cues together making you see something that isn't really there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Pareidolia Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Coppergold Pillar of the Community United States 939 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 6:15 pm It could be that there was another cent with a D mintmark that was on top of this cent and a substance sat between the two coins for a bit creating the D Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 6:16 pm Looks like water spots to me. If it was a struck through something, the area would be incuse: The area in question looks flat. On a dropped letter than can be normal/mirrored depending on how the fall out of the die. But the OPs coin looks like a lot of imagination from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
