That's just a hit or slight machine doubling on the mint mark.
If you're interested in varieties like repunched mint marks, you are better off studying known varieties and searching for those. Along the way, you'll learn to better recognize what a true repunched mint mark looks like. Looking at every random coin as if it might be a new variety will most likely get you nowhere.
Thank you!
Yep.... looks like it took a hit of some sort on the top of the mint mark.
BTW.... excellent photo from the side angle.... really made it easy to see what was going on with the coin!
That is machine doubling on the mint mark, not a variety.
Great pictures by the way, makes it easy to make an accurate assessment,
Yes, machine doubling.

Another vote for machine doubling with a slight hit on the top. Cheers, RickO
