1. If the area you are looking at is to the right of the mintmark, that will be die wear. 2. Above the mintmark it is not raised like a punch affected die would show. (Also looks more like a shadow) 3. See the lines around the mintmark, that is die flow. So if it is lower than die flow, it would not be a mintmark punch just die flow.
