Question for the MM experts

I have been searching through a bag of wheats I got off Ebay and ran into this one. I have Daughtery's book (an excellent read by the way) and have gone to Potter's website. I can't seem to find any reference to this...does anyone have any ideas on this coin?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert and shouldn't be hijacking your thread but many of the 1950s Lincoln Cents I have also have filled in (D) MMs.

It's a pretty common filled MM die chunk. At the moment my mind is drawing a blank as to the real name of this, but it is quite common on the MM, DATE, and even between B & E in LIBERTY commonly known as BIE cents.

It's a somewhat cool piece to have/ add to your collection.

 

HI sf340,
It would be a good idia to go to Chucks site he has a lot of pictures there that he did not put in his book you can find it here hope it helps.

 

Thanks Bruce, it is truly incredible the amount of documented varieties that exist.

 

Glad I could help, always come here to cointalk the members will always be here for you.:hail:

 

That is definitely a filled in mintmark die error.It is an interesting piece.

Aidan.
