I don't see it.
Sorry, it's just something left over from the environmental damage.
The die making process starts with a master hub. That is used to make a master die (I believe in 1992 they put the last digits of the date on the master die, but it could have been on the master hub like they do today). Working hubs are made from the master dies, and working dies are made from the working hubs. The working die then strikes coins. It isn't possible to add an extra digit to a working die
are you Saying that
isnt an extra 9? '
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Just because something looks unusual, doesn't mean its an error. In fact, the majority of strange looking coins are damaged.
If you think you've found an error, you need to explain how it could occur during the minting process. In this case, it can't be an extra digit. Can't happen. Now look at the environmental damage. The simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation
