Pigeonman333rd Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 4:04 pm I have been asking around about this coin I found, and one person said damaged, another said possible die chip, and the latest one said Looks like it was stamped outside the mint. How is it that this coin looks like an S mintmark? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 4:09 pm It looks like a D mintmark that has been damaged. That is the only mm used in 1958. If it was stamped outside the mint, it would be incuse, not raised. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 11/21/2025 12:22 pm Damaged Denver. Perhaps something contacted the die and went unnoticed? It's important to remember that the dies are in reverse of the devices, letters and mint mark leaving them raised on a struck coin. Just my thoughts.
