[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4209491, member: 77814"]Q: What type of device are you using to measure the width, height and depth of the anomaly and the mint mark ? I ask because electronically measured, they are not the same size. If we replicate (I did two models, one on the left and one on the right) of the Mint Mark we get this. [ATTACH=full]1079057[/ATTACH] So, the anomaly is *not* the exact same size and shape of the mint mark. It is similar. When it was inspected I had to increase the false error identification in order to expand the area. If you notice, there's a notch on the front of the "D", and other oddities inside of it not reminiscent of a mint mark. If we compare the image [ATTACH=full]1079058[/ATTACH] if you compare it to ANOTHER 1983 WORN nickel ... you would get [ATTACH=full]1079059[/ATTACH] if you look closely, it actually has THREE "D" shaped stuff in that same area as identified below. [ATTACH=full]1079061[/ATTACH] what i really think you have is remnants of various wear and damage. either that or this other nickel has 3 D's on it. here's the design in more uncirculated condition [ATTACH=full]1079062[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
