1983 D misplaced mint mark?

The extra Mint Mark is no where near the original one. Look NW to the center. You'll what look like to me as an inverted D where the ribbon is in the center of his hair. NW from the original MM.

I thought I did. I still do.

 

Foe what ??
I assume formation

if you mean this in the top left
it took a hit from a pointy object.
For instance if a pen hits it hard it's going to go into the metal, but the metal around the tip is going to be pushed out. And if it is not straight down, it won't be a perfect circle .. as an example.

 

I provided example nickels to be able to see that they have nothing similar to the 83.

 

No, and I strongly advise you not to play Liar's Poker at your local bar when you have been drinking all night. ~ Chris

 

That's not a mintmark.

 

It's exactly the same size as the original MM

 

I think most collectors already know what a nickel looks like. ~ Chris

 

Lol. IllI provide pictures of the exact placement. Sorry.

 

I am TOTALLY confused now.

Other years will *not* look *exactly* the same.
Mint Marks are (until 1989ish) hand punched into each specific die. They are not making proofs so they do not care how accurate it's location is the the previous ones they punched. Nor how many times like with RPMs.

Even through out the same year they may not be in the same exact location.

 

Don't bother! You're the only one "seeing things". ~ Chris

 

Dr. Phil doesn't want anything to do with him, either! ~ Chris

 

No it's farther out and the exact same size only inverted.D facing downwards and the serif pointing W.

 

Now. In this image the D is SW

 

The "D" are the letters "SW" ??

you lost me

 

The extra D is now in a c

The secondary in the image sits SW at the very corner of the enlarged image.

 

Once you spot it then go back to the original images.

 

Remember the other coins are only there to show that they have nothing similar.
