Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 12:54 am Hello again, As the title says... here's a picture of this error: Not sure what to make of this error, it just stood out to me so I decided to take a picture of it and share it. The upper left corner of the D may suggest that the bigger part of D could've been re-punched, and the hole added later? I don't know what I'm talking about, just speculating, lol. What do y'all think? Is it Common? Thanks for stopping by. Edited by Houler 02/19/2022 12:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 06:18 am @houl, that is an exceptional pic of the mintmark. Well done. It does not look like a RPM to me though—more like uneven circulation flattening, plus perhaps an unevenly struck punch. You should definitely check out the varietyvista website for comparison though.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 07:18 am I don't believe it's an error--given the pics posted. I'm seeing the cumulative effect of (uneven) circulation--hits/rubs and flattening. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 11:48 am such twisting of the mint mark is fairly common on nickels of that period, I've always attributed it to Die Deterioration Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 11:16 am Looks to me that the bottom part of the D took a hit and flattened it out, moving in the metal to the center, thus giving it this lopsided appearance.
