    So I was just messing around with my change jar and I found this Penny that has a random raised o like it's a New Orleans mint mark but I know it's definitely not that and I didn't see any damage that would make me think it's pmd what's your thoughts? received_271162618501255.jpeg received_486207446462075.jpeg received_317824773739881~2.jpeg received_315450510554868~2.jpeg received_264933975671514.jpeg

    Plating flaw...not really a letter or number.

    I agree with it being a plating blister where the underlying zinc has oxidized and "dissolved".

    It does look like an O or 0 but alas, it appears to just be what the others are saying: a plating issue. Lousy zincoln.
