    Answered: 1990 S penny with misplaced mint mark?

    Not sure if this is PMD, a misplaced S or two misplaced Ds on this cent next to Lincoln's forehead, also something appears to be stamped on the reverse.. any help is appreciated!! if it is a mint mark, is it worth getting checked out?

    Looks like some acidic etched the field. Looks like damage and not a mint mark to me.

    I agree with the PSD (Post Strike Damage)... As for the other item I can not tell for sure but it looks like a scratch on the coin??? If it is raised then I would think a die scratch???

    After 1989, the mint marks were on the master die....eliminating the possibility of "misplaced" mint marks.

    Early zinc cents tend to have raised lumps and bumps.
