[QUOTE="Tompkins316, post: 1241376, member: 28947"]Judging by the picture the "d" in question is incuse. If it were raised like an actual mint mark. If you look at the other letters/numbers on the coin the coloration is different where there are raised letters. For arguments sake, look at the O or D in God. It is darker in the middle on the letter, because the lighting creates a shadow off of the raised letters. From what I see in the pic, the "d" shape is darkened, which would happen because it is incuse and the shadow is cast off the edges into the impression. Also, because the way that coins are made, BadThad is right, the odds of this being an actual mint mark letter are very slim. Sorry to say it but its just PMD, and your brain is identifying the shape of the damage as a D.[/QUOTE]
