spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 12:41 am I have seen what I think you are describing often. I believe it is caused when the mintmark is punched into the working die. Some metal is displaced and pushed upward on the die and thus creates a sunken area around the mm on the coins.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 08:09 am If your microscope takes photos,do it that way and post from your scope to CCF. Not a good idea to take a photo of the scope screen and post that pic. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
