Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 11:24 pm If you're referring to the circled area, that's just damage, no MM. If there were a MM it would be further west, in between and below the 9 and 4. Report this Post to the Staff

sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 6:15 pm I learned a long time ago that when viewing with a microscope you can actually view "through the coin" This means your digging to deep for an error that at that point is no longer worthy due to damage. Rule of thumb for me, if you see something through a "lope" then check it in the scope. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 6:28 pm Note how much the date devices are raised? The mintmark should also be showing the same height as well. There was no mintmark there. Report this Post to the Staff
