  You are going to need to post a sharper image. Nevertheless, if you look at enough coins with enough magnification, eventually you will see every letter of the alphabet and every numeral. Get what I'm saying? Let's hope you actually have something!

  Additional pics are not necessary. This is not an error. I’m sure there is a good reference available that will detail the different kinds of errors which can occur. Honestly, you are wasting your time looking so hard for these and taking pictures/uploading them. What are your collecting goals?

  IMHO looks like a scratch or where something hit the coin

  I sure wish I knew as much as you! Perhaps you can suggest a guide for the OP dealing with 2011-D cents. Only thing I can think of is Wiles, Wexler, or one of the Lincoln sites. Unfortunately, new "micro" oddities that are not very valuable are being discovered all the time. Even with a fuzzy image there appears to be a raised mark next to the PMD. Perhaps just some pushed up metal due to damage. It may even be part of a minor clash. In any case, at least one member here (me) is curious enough to see a sharp image so I can actually make an informed comment.

  I was curious about the "kite tail" in the upper left corner on the "D" mintmark.

  There 'appears' to be a '5' image above the date..... I cannot be sure if it is just PMD or something else... a really clear picture would help. It could be just a compression contact with another coin. Cheers, RickO
