Judging only by the photo, that looks like damage, not a mintmark.

I agree with John, but that would be extremely cool if it was a mint mark in that location

I'm not an expert but that is strange....

 

Doesn't look like a mint mark since it looks to enlongated to be an "O" mint mark, but I'm not buying the damage theory. It looks to... whats the word "perfect" maybe, to be damage...

 

But it's hard just by looking at the pic...

Is it just me or do all of yall see the doubling?

No, it's just you seeing double.

Is the oddity raised up or stamped into the surface? If you collect one series long enough you'll run into all kinds of weird stuff on coins.

it has slightly raised edges,that's why I was thinking maybe a misplace mint mark. here's another image of the same coin.

I would suggest that you email Jeff Oxman, a VAM expert and see what he thinks. Very interesting coin... JeffSSDC@Aol.com
