I think Joe has the wrong image for this coin Gary. LOL It's a 1957-D Cent. It happens to all of us that have more than a few images on a server.

A few possibilities.

A light punch into a die or perhaps, die abrasion in the area around the mint mark.

Lower split serif RPM and the punch was slightly weakly punched into the die. The 'weak' mintmark is no big deal. The RPM would make it a few dollars worth.
