Me eyes are seeing a 2 over it. I wanted to see what some of you guys thought about it. This is 1979-D 5c.
Imaginary numbers seen in posts the last 6 months 350. Imaginary numbers confirmed: zero. If there was a number there (I don't see one). What put it there? It's not on the die. Could it be some kind of clash from the die or another coin? Can the die clash come from either side? IDK And in that case, the number would not be reversed. If the number is reversed it could have come in contact with another coin, most likely intentionally with a vise, so that's PMD. If it is just something that looks like a number then it is pareidolia.
My 9 year old daughter brought it to me and asked me Why the D had a 2 pressed into it. I told her that I would see what we could find out about it by asking around on here. I didn’t figure it would be anything but she was wide eyed with the thought of it being. something.That kid will stay up as long as I do, for hours & hours until I make her put the loupe down lol. So naw frog guy, I haven’t been smoking any top of the line sativa or anything else. it’s just a 9 year olds imagination and curiosity mixed with the fun we have looking at coins together through a magnifying glass.
I also thought you meant the area ABOVE the mint mark and not on the actual mint mark itself. While there appears to be something there, some posters have identified it as a minor chip in the die. Or, just regular circulation damage.
