Second, while that mark is about the right size and shape of a D mintmark, it is just a gouge that has displaced metal in that shape.

The "mintmark" in Abe's beard is not a long lost mintmark the mint has been searching for. (However, feel free to use it as you wish.) to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
