2018 D Discovery coin??

#1 Unread post by Love2Live »

My love of HUNTING coins came from my fathers pocket change he acquired during his travels abroad . Because of that experience I have looked at every coin the passes through my hands. This is one of the coins that caught my eye and reminded me of what my father always said, when a coin caught his eye, "That's a coin in need of RESCUING".

I miss spoke about the discovery, still learning the numismatic language.,My apologise. The photos are not as good as they will be. It is a number 1 as far as i can tell with my 30x36
hand held magnifier. I am grateful for any and all advice on what it is and where i can verify it either way, real cool or im seeing things. Thank you for the platform and knowledge that you all share.

This is, as Paul said, likely just a die chip that has a coincidental appearance of a number 1. When you understand the process of how coins are made, you will understand it is impossible for extra letters, numbers, symbols, etc. to show up on a coin from the mint.

Technically a "dropped letter" error can make an extra design element show up on a coin, but this is a whole different story and definitely not what you are seeing on yours cent.
