I see something there, seems like it is sideways on both things that I see, which , to me, forms another D. anyway what do you think? I have arrows pointing to what I see, but they are small so look close. http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/...0_5055-1.jpgEdited by killians76

I think they are metal flow lines. John1  |

Die flow lines. The metal to metal contact wear the die and the LDS-VLDS show this very strong. The marking in the center of the mint mark is a bad punch. You find this area looking like this from coins of different dies for this year. IE: 1979-d with the split in the lower serif is another example of this.

It might help to mention that the D is also distorted as a result of a contact mark.
Thanks,

It is helpful because some folks here look at something, see something that they think is something else and often what they are looking at is a function of some kind of damage.
The distortion of the D and what this person is seeing might be related if the damage and what they think they see have anything to do with each other.
Since the person posting was not particularly specific as to what they were looking at, I wanted to add my thought to the mix.
You are missing the concept that die wear and damage can work together to cause the viewer of the coin to see things in a different way.

'I' am not missing anything here. I didn't miss the 'arrows' that the author pointed out in the original post, and I doubted that anyone else would have either, but it looks like I was wrong about that.

John1: Yes. It is on the die the lines appear making each coin after they start have the same die flow lines with stronger ones in later die states.

John1, in no way disrespect, I thank all of you for your input. Let me explain, I was meaning I like it to be explained so I can learn from it, rather than a "no it's not" or "don't think so". Just something that might enable me to learn from it rather that just read it. Thanks John1

everyone has their own way of helping, yours may not be the same as foundinrolls, that does not make either of you wrong.
making a note of the damage on the mint mark is one way of helping.
to be honest the ding on the D was the first thing I saw when I opened the picture, I had to look close to see the red arrows.
lets help each other help others.
Thanks to both of you for your contributions to the thread and the forum.
