is this just damage to the coin? the R in the first picture looks like it may be an error?

Welcome to the Chat Board.

Not an error Post Minting Damage. There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin.

It has just taken taken several hits which has damaged the letters.

ok thanks for the info. what about this D mint mark

[JKK]

Same. The raised metal of letters and numbers on coins is quite vulnerable to damage. Something lands on the coin, or scrapes it, and damage is done.

[jgrinz]

Yes it is just damage known as POST MINT DAMAGE

Nice pictures though, very easy to see what you are asking about.

I agree with both sentiments: the marks are damage, and nice job on the pictures.
