I don't see anything to indicate it, but the left side is in the shadows it seems. If you take another photo, try rotating the coin or light, so it comes from the left side of the mint mark at a lower angle , thus serif separations on lines can be seen easier. Jim

Ok, do you mean the appearance of a completely separated D shape to the west? If so, no on that also, as the shape is not close enough and is just random appearance IMO. Jim
