    Welcome to the forum.
    When posting, supply a clear photo of both sides of the coin along with your close up
    and do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated.
    In answer to your question, that cannot be a mint mark, if it was there would be 100’s of thousands
    of them struck and would have been discovered long ago.it is probably some sort of damage but not clear enough to say exactly what.

    The new member you are replying to is just a childish troll that came here to make stupid comments.

    Your coin appears to have a spot of corrosion or some other post mint damage. (PMD)
    The mint mark is on the die so many coins would look like yours if it was a misplaced mint mark.
    Sorry, it's just not what you think it is. :/

    The second coin you posted is showing machine/mechanical doubling.

    Sorry, it's not a doubled die. :/

    The biggest difference is that while some doubled dies can be valuable, machine doubling is worthless.

    I think I have some real doubling on a couple 1958 when looking at it it kind of looks like a shadow I kept moving my light thinking it was casting a shadow they were like new so I just figured it was the shine making me see it I'll see if I can find them again thank I'll put a couple pics on here if I find them thank you so much
