usmc-tanker New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 4:45 pm I've seen another post on here with a similar inquiry and their coin looked similar but maybe not as clear as this one. Could this possibly be misplaced mint mark and if not what am I looking at? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

usmc-tanker New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 5:01 pm If it's a PB would not the toothpick have confirmed it? It's solid and really just looks like a tilted D. Maybe I should just bore it out on the drill press and get to the bottom of it Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19136 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 5:21 pm I'm thinking die chip--given the posted pics. An accurate weight (to 2 decimal places) would tell us if its a copper cent, or zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff
