[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 8570335, member: 44615"]That's a plating blister on a copper plated zinc planchet. Not a mint mark. Your 1991 was minted in Philadelphia with no mint mark. It looks like a D because it's considered Pareidolia. That's when something looks like something familiar when it actually isn't. Also.. A true D mint mark looks like this. Same size as the numbers and more pronounced. 2019 cent used as reference.. [ATTACH=full]1511444[/ATTACH] But hey. You have a misaligned die strike on the obverse. Slight but nothing major.[/QUOTE]
