JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 11/14/2018 9:19 pm Not an error. Looks like whomever punched the MM in the working die went a little deep so it would be a bit higher. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74677 Posts	Posted 11/14/2018 9:21 pm There's a lot of die flow lines, so it would be a worn die issue ( Die Deterioration). The mint mark is also showing die flow line as well, on the left side and on top of it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
