This appears to be a scraped mintmark where the excess metal moved into the void of the mint mark and has since worn over. I see some damage at the base of both 7's so I am thinking this is likely what happened. Another possibility is a filled mintmark where a die chip formed inside the mint mark.Leave a comment:
