It really looks like a "D" mintmark smashed in with the "5" in the date. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

The top part of it is definitely damage. You can see how the 9 and the 5 took a simultaneous hit. Where there is what might be displaced metal at the bottom tail of the 5 looks intriguing. Edit: Not a D mint mark imho. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 05/23/2021 12:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 11:33 pm I agree, this is just a die chip lodged in the 5. Nothing to do with the mintmark. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
