Embedded Mintmark

I found this Penny with the "D" mintmark embedded in the coin. Has anyone seen anything like this? Was it a mistake at the mint or did someone try to do this later on? Is it worth more than 1¢?

    Your coin has been altered outside the Mint.

    Wow that might even be an illegal legal tender. Wonder if they would refuse it at Walmart. Nice find though sort of a counter sink variety. Are there more out there sort of like the George Washington dollar track me where I go/spend.

    It looks like some used a punch to add a "D" to the cent.

    PMD. Someone "sucker punched" the "D".

    The reverse probably shows an indentation from the obverse, apoearing as a slight bulge on the reverse, a strong hint about what caused this.

    Maybe it was once owned by a descendant of Dexter or Dunham - family traditions are hard to break.

    On a Lincoln cent? Wow ... that would have to be one 'down and out' descendant!
