Is this a new found error or some kind of RPM Edited by Zellyman 11/06/2021 7:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/06/2021 7:32 pm The post on the die that forms the center has broken off the die, thus the mintmark appears filled in. Why? When a die chip or die crack or even something as small as a post breaks off the die, it leaves a void on the die. The on all of the strikes with that die going forward, will all show the filled in void on the coins until retirement of the die. Edited by coop 11/06/2021 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/06/2021 7:32 pm Sharper images might help, and please always show us the whole coin, both sides. Thanks. This " filled in" mintmark is called a broken post mintmark. One of the interior sides broke, causing the metal to flow into it. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
