Hello everyone ! I’m new here in Collectors Universe and thank you for letting me be a Member.
My question I found a 1982 small date but under the number there’s something there but I don’t know to me it looks like an S or D , I did a little research didn’t found anything about it here
Is the pick .

    It's not a mintmark of any kind.

    It's damage, from contact or a 'hit'
    while the coin was already in circulation.

    See all the other marks on the surface?
    Same source....

    Not an error coin or low or wrong mintmark - sorry

    Just to make your life more interesting, I'm going to take an ice pick and hammer to a couple boxes of coins and release them into the wild. You might want to add a second phone line. :wink:
