It could be damage, but I'm wondering what other members think of this? I thought it could be a Dropped Letter error (a scarce struck through error), but I'm unsure, since it doesn't look like the same size as the mint mark. http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...ticleId=5974Errers and Varietys.

The center looks to be about field level. Don't see nothing in the way of displaced material. No reverse image so can't comment on it. Quote:
I'm wondering if other members think of this? E&V, that was my first thought on the third image, but as mentioned, the shape and size is a bit off for the MM. Was thinking other devices can attribute to this shape as well. For instance top half of R or either half of B in LIBERTY. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

You're very welcome Bate! My thought was damaged as well. But it's away good to throw a possibility out there too. Since it's not the same size as the mint mark, it's Post Strike Damage. Still interesting to look at though. :)

Looks like a dropped letter. It can be normal or reverse like this one. Depending on how it lands.

Since it's not the same size as the mint mark, it's Post Strike Damage. If the compacted material that fell out of the mintmark did not completely fill the letter the resultant dropped letter would not exactly match the shape of the mintmark. The dropped letter would have thinner elements and the center opening would be larger than that of the normal mintmark. It would also be shallower than the height of the regular mintmark is above the field. That does look like a possibility on this coin. Edited by Conder101

After editing the images a bit the style of the mint mark is not correct for this year. So I think it is PSD.  The contact marks on the coin made me think about this first, then discovered the differently mint mark styles. |

Thanks for your effort to bring this answer to me Mr. Coop.  You always take your time to examine the issue and give out the answer very clear with the pics you create by your self. Appreciate it |
