Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 7:25 pm not a MM above the date. the MM's were placed on the master die below the date on all coins (that got a MM) from about 1991 or so. that could just be a plating bubble.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 8:01 pm Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 8:10 pm I actually have a few like what the poster is asking about (not the year or letter of the posters) and it is a "T" . I have a few that are E's which are larger and came from the reverse i.e. clashed die. I am curious about posters 3rd pic for I do have a few like his likensaid however with different dates and letter, a T on mine. Could it be someone messing with the coin? Mine don't look it any one has and it's different from my clashed die ones I have. It's interesting to me that he bought this up because I was wondering the same thing although mine is a different letter and a different year.
