(Leaves the inside of the mintmark filled) I can't tell for sure it is is also one of the damaged mintmark punch issues that was common on several denominations of that year. Hard to tell with the contact marks on your mintmark. Either way, there is no premium for these as they happened to several dies, making them common that year. Report this Post to the Staff
