<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3339768, member: 84595&quot;]Very interesting.&nbsp; First research if the 1984-D, D mint mark is correct for its die characteristic.&nbsp; Once that is determined, is your D correct.&nbsp; We know it is not a dropped letter mint error since the D on a cent is raised and if the mint mark filled with metal and grease and then fell out, it would be incuse in a struck planchet rather than being raised.&nbsp; Do not remove it in any way.&nbsp; It could be a D product of a filled mint mark which was dislodged from the die.&nbsp; How it was retained on your coin makes it very interesting since many cents would have fallen on it and it would have been dislodged.&nbsp; I have never seen the original dropped letter from a die that would create a dropped letter mint error.&nbsp; It is a complicated study in dropped letter mint errors.&nbsp; How the die filled with grease and metal?&nbsp; How the filled letter dropped from the die?&nbsp; How it was picked up by the die striking it in a different position and creating an incuse mark in the die?&nbsp; How that die struck a planchet?&nbsp; How many planchets were struck before the die wore to the point no dropped letter is visible?&nbsp; Is there any indication at all that your cent is a 1984-D?&nbsp; Lots more questions to be asked on this coin including a close up of the letter.
