Eknbdaddy New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 1:22 pm Hi, I hope I'm posting this to the correct area. I've tried to search for something similar but did not find anything. I purchased a book of liberty half dollars and came across this one in the 1939 S slot. It appears to be a D, however, it looks struck over but not quite as clear as some of the D/D strikes I found. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it may be or if it is simply some damage to the coin? I've placed another 1939 with a D mint mark next to it for comparison. Thank you in advance for any information. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Eknbdaddy New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 2:08 pm Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback. I'll throw it in as another D mint mark. Maybe I'll find something good in the next round. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 2:10 pm Either the metal moved a bit, or the post that formed the inside of the 'D' mint mark has broken off the die. They didn't use 'P' mint marks until a few years later. On the Silver War Nickels there were 'P' mint marks. Then it disappeared until 1980 when they started using the 'P' mint marks again. so it can't be a'P' mint mark. Just a damaged mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
