cheetopendejo New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/27/2020 8:33 pm I still needed a little more clarification and using the term "incuse devices" instead of "incuse mark" I found more information and ended up finding this gem on google: https://goccf.com/t/353014 That explains everything so much more clearly, and it turns out you're the author as well so I feel like you were holding out. But seriously, thanks for the help. I almost feel bad for wasting your time, but I do very much appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 06:44 am The MM on your coin would not be incuse. That MM, like all primary MM's, is raised above the field just like Washingtons bust or the other letters. (The die which strikes the coin is the opposite of course to produce the raised design on the coin.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 03/28/2020 06:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

I see that it's raised above the field but I saw it as the outline of the "D" being pressed into the field around the nub that forms the inside, but I get what you mean because it's still above the flat part.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 9:32 pm The reason the center of the mintmark is not formed is that the post that would have formed the center of 'D' has broken off the die. Thus that incuse area inside of the mintmark was not formed because of the missing post. The missing post area is now a void. Thus the reason why it is filled in. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm pretty sure I have a philly mint filled as well and I've only got like 3 or 4 P mint mark quarters. i'd just never paid attention before and I'm thinking it's more common on quarters cause I don't think I've come across any pennies like that.
