Does this look like what I think it is?

Looks like this penny has a double mint mark D with the round side of the D in the 9? Is it worth anything?

I meant the round side of the D facing up in the 9.

 

I believe its called a die chip its worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

 

I see it. There's another D under the date, too, seems like.

 

Ok thanks all.

 

This is what happens when the post on the die that forms the center of a letter or number breaks off. With the post no longer there, the coin metal fills the void when the planchet is struck.



The post on the die forming your coin has broken off in two partial pieces. The next part to go would be the top of the post if the die is not replaced.

 

A nice die chip. Welcome to CT.
