    I'm sure this is no error, but a mere prank of sorts, but I have never seen this before. Not sure I have a question about it other than outside of the mint, what could leave such an impression in a coin like this? 20170220_204315.jpg

    Noting that the spacing between "I M" is wider than the spacing between "OK", a letter punch set was probably used.

    You are correct. It's called a Counter Punch or Counter Stamp or Counter Mark Coin
    Google those words and you will see many examples.
    People have been doing it for decades!

    By the way.. Anytime you see anything incused into the field of a coin it's usually Post Mint Damage.
