[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7409529, member: 105098"]Interesting I suppose. "The Philadelphia Mint made master hubs for all the coins and medals the U.S. Mint produces. The mint mark is added to the master hub for each facility, which is used to make several generations of dies and hubs." and then they deliver the dies to the mints each year with their mint marks on them. If it is a D and missing the D, then it's a grease filled die and wear has removed the evidence of it, or it was intentionally removed and wear hides it. Yes coins missing their mintmark exist like the "No S" proof coins 1968 (Roosevelt Dime), 1970 (Roosevelt Dime), 1971 (Jefferson Nickel), 1975 (Roosevelt Dime), 1983 (Roosevelt Dime), and 1990 (Lincoln Cent). However these are an exception, they are proof struck coins, and it's clear they should have the S mintmark and they haven't been circulated. Good luck with your coin, and proving your hypothesis that it's a D and left the mint without a D on it. I don't see anything to suggest one is the accented hair, or a doubled die. so no idea how exactly you come to " it's a D missing the D". I'd like to see your reference source for the B and R on the Obverse and that's the interesting part of this. :) Be blessed.[/QUOTE]
