Anyone seen this before? Mint mark removed?

I have never seen this. Any idea how this happens?

Yes! It happens all the time. It's called PMD!

Boooo! Boooo on PMD!

 

The 1992 Cent is a Copper Plated Zinc Cent. Plated Cents tend to have problems. Looks like you have a plating issue.
As mentioned Post Mint Damage.

 

Thank you. Interesting though probably not a rare thing. Looks like the mint mark fell off. Heh heh

 

Mint marks are not placed onto the surface like decorations are placed onto a cake. They are part of the design on the Die. Could also of been a slight Debris filled Die which lead to a strike such as yours.



Heh heh
