Or is this what the MM is supposed to look like?

    Kind of unfortunately appearing to be a post-mint strike from another coin or something.

    I have something similar to this. Mine looks like a G over D mint mark. It is on a five or ten pfennig I think. Will search it out next week. Going to Albany this weekend for my youngest grandsons first birthday party.

    Found two of the 1934d 5 mark coins and neither of mine have the d mint mark looking like yours. Haven't located my other coin that looks like yours yet.

    Greetings and to me it does look touched up, I collect German Empire, Weimar and 3rd Reich coins by date and mint. I have many that appear to be like yours. I wish there was a book on them, I have done a search Online with no luck. I have a few that are grossly obvious and a bunch more like yours that need to be looked at pretty close to see. I have not seen anyone collecting them per se other than as I do when they come along to fill a spot in the collection. I have seen a few for sale listed as errors or mint re-engravings but not commanding any premium. I have no way to send photos at this time but I have a duplicate that is exactly the same as yours, date and mint but its a little more worn than yours. I have also got an Empire 10 pfennig that has an E mintmark and a G mintmark. Sorry I can't tell you more as far rarity or value. I will keep following along and see if anyone chimes in with any ideas.
