oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 12/09/2024 10:53 pm The Mint Mark was hit at the top and smashed down, you can see the original outline of it . Report this Post to the Staff
Rmahoney3 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/09/2024 11:01 pm Would it be considered an error? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73760 Posts	Posted 12/09/2024 11:11 pm It's not an error. It's PMD. I would take some time and study up on the minting process. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/produc...MKpQ_jjIX6AU For errors: https://www.error-ref.com For varieties: https://www.doubleddie.com Errers and Varietys.

Rmahoney3 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/09/2024 11:16 pm I guess I don't understand how a mint mark could be moved after minting. It would make more sense that it was moved during minting? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73760 Posts	Posted 12/09/2024 11:25 pm It didn't happen during the minting process. It's just damage and not an error. Study up on the minting process. It will take some time to learn, but once you know it, it will be easier to understand. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 12/10/2024 04:07 am Actually there is no way for it to move during minting, the mintmark is on the die and when the coin is struck, none of the features on the die can move. A sharp hit at any time after the coin leaves the dies though can displace metal. Report this Post to the Staff
