Old Codger NJ Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 07/08/2024 10:40 pm Came across an interesting looking mint mark. Rotated 20 degrees clockwise and appears to be repunched to correct the orientation. Variety Vista has one listing, much less clear than this example. Report this Post to the Staff

Old Codger NJ Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 07/09/2024 12:21 pm I agree with you all that the hollow D center is filled, but this coin has a perfect D shape. How can "damaged and filled" look like that? Report this Post to the Staff
