nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 7:53 pm I've seen similar on nickels of other years, could be due to the mintmark punch having been at an angle when punched into the die, but the cause is more likely what John1 said Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 8:30 pm But even on a worn die, grease could fill the devices so full that nothing appears. But on this one, I'm leaning more towards die wear/die polishing altering that area where the mintmark is located. On the grease filled area, that is not full the affected areas will be part fill, that will make the devices wider than normal. I'm not seeing that on your coin. So it is more likely a polished/worn die issue on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
