Praslin3 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I found this 1950-D penny with the "D" filled in. Can't find anything online about this error. Would anyone have more info on it's worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 The mint mark would normally become "filled" due to a broken post. When the mint mark was punched into the master hub (for D and P marks) you would have a small post that causes the inside impression of the mint mark. Sometimes, this post would break, either partially or entirely. That would cause a "filled" mint mark when the planchet is struck. Nice errors to find, but it really does not add any premium to the coin. And welcome to the forums! If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.
