Finedime69 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 04/03/2019 01:34 am Hello I'm relatively new to coin collecting and I've been collecting anything that catches my eye or has an interesting story behind it so of course kept all 83 and 82 coins of all denominations. I was just looking through what I have and found what appears to be a misplaced "d" mint mark on the head side of the coin. It's located in the top left after the t in trust and between Jefferson's forehead. If I'm not seeing things is this a rare find? Is it even possible to be real because I've yet to find a error of this kind on this specific coin. Any input you have would be highly appreciated. I hope I posted this right it's my first time posting. I had to get opinions on this one..thank you Report this Post to the Staff

I'm guessing it is a strike through of grease or debris of some type. Value? Not much, in my opinion. Others may have a difference of opinion. Keep looking ! Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like damage that is vaguely D-shaped to me.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/03/2019 07:58 am I had to turn my monitor on it's side to see your photo better. I suggest not using your bare hands on coins you want to save. Could leave finger prints on the coin and that could end up being there forever. And as to misplaced MM, probably not.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2019 11:29 am If the marks are incuse on a coin, then there is about a 99% chance it is damage from circulation. There are incuse marks on coin that are not PSD, but collectable. but as I mentioned above they occur about 1% of the time. If it were an additional 'D' then it would be raised on the coin not incuse because if would have to occur on the die. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Note the disclaimer on this site about this die number. But that is the only way there could be an extra 'D' from the die, it would be raised. People often tamper with coins adding a counter punch to them. But to a true collector, they are just a damaged coin. No premium for these. Non collectors go bananas over stuff like that. Thus all the people getting burned on non collector stuff on ebay all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
