ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 11:00 am Yes, I see a broken post (die chip) issue, with a touch of light circulation flattening and a circulation ding/hit. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 7:31 pm For 1979-d this filled mint mark is very common also 1978 compared to other dates. If you search 1979-d on the search here should confirm this. But recently I went through a 3 rolls of this year and maybe 18-20 where filled. People how ever do try to sell these on ebay and the likes. IDB on mint mark Interior Die Break Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 8:49 pm Yeah, a lot of D mint marks 1975-1979 were filled due to a broken post. Also, some seemed like the D was shallow but they got punched deeply. Then when the mint mark weathered in circulation, it arrived at a filled mint mark appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
