    2.JPG heritage auctions appraiser denies this is even an error coin at all. clearly shows that the 5 is over a d mintmark and the mintmark is repunched. what do you think?

    Please realize the difficulty confirming or denying an error from photos. I do not think the 5 is over any letter. It appears more as from a deteriorated die producing that extra metal. As far as a D/D mintmark, there are a couple listed that appear close to the photo, but not exactly the same angle. I suspect from the machine doubling on the "1" and "9" on the date that the appearance of the mintmark has been affected also, so I am not sure from this photo if it is or is not. IMO.

    I seriously doubt that, for several reasons. 1 - the variety you are talking about in the Cheerypicker's Guide has that supposed D under the curve of the 5 - not the top of it. 2 - it would be impossible for a D to be there because the mint marks were not added to the dies until after the die was hubbed. So if the D was there it would have to be on top of the 5 not under it. 3 - even the Cherrypicker's Guide says their listed variety "may be proved to be a die chip".

    Yeah there is, probably a die chip or die erosion.

    As for this one - it's just a novelty struck on a genuine coin after it left the the US Mint. They used to make those by the thousands.

    That is post mint stamping to the coin.
    Considered damage.

    If the mint mark was added last to a die (a concave mirror image of the coin) how could it possibly appear over a numeral?


    That said, I agree, the area in question is a die chip

    The same way any repunched mint mark looks like one is on top of the other.
