I have one like this but the 8s are more filled in. I am guessing this is fairly common? Not sure.

This also happens fairly often with the freestanding post in the D mint mark. Oddly, I see it a lot less on P, which you would think is thinner and therefore much easier to crack apart.

2004 till 2009 the dies was rhodium or vanadium plated and this often happened on those restrict strike area. It is not an error or variety, it is die event it is as the car need new brake pads.

So do they repair broken posts, keep striking coins with a damaged mint mark, or just retire the die?

Generally when discovered, the Die was change. To day the Dies are change very offend. Statistically no Die (hammer) will go more the one shift (7.5 h). I have in my collection Die which strike 23.000 coins and was change. The damages of the Dies come fast due to the forces and frequency (750 coins/minute). To change a Die today took 10 to 20 seconds.
