Most likely a damage issue to the mintmark, but I don't see it for certain. This 1902 O appears to be a D, but shouldn't be. Possible counterfeit?
Your opinions?

Am I missing something here? No one thinks this odd? @burfle23 is this a stupid mistaken counterfeit or just very weird pmd?.

it looks like a copper round, is that the color in hand?
Do not have coin. It's on ebay just noted the mm. Contacted seller who says it is an odd looking mm, but real.

I thought the same and from these terrible photos couldn't truly see an impact, only the result of one. I was just perusing ebay seeing how to quickly ID a micro "o" and ran across this and thought it interesting. Very few others did. Lol

Maybe it’s a hit or strange lighting. But it looks very wrong to me. Personally I’d steer clear.
nice copper round, i think?
Date looks odd also
I did an overlay of the date and it appears a match. Can't add it on my phone, but will when I get home later this evening. If anyone feels it to be a counterfeit, be a little more specific, so we can better evaluate the photos to a more helpful reply to op.

I'm agreeing with a hit and metal movement.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
It appears the seller updated the listing with 2 new images of the mm.
The OP images make the mintmark look fake. the pic @Olympus620 posted the mintmark looks genuine.
Edit to add a normal O not a micro O.

Kind of odd, as seller told me on the 4th that it looks like a D but is an O. Whatev.
