1969 nickel mint mark 0

This mint mark doesn't appear to be all there. Any guidance on this one?

Ok I just nearly fried my brain on your other question, but Ill try this one too. Looks like it is a D mintmark with a possible partial grease strike through. No crackpot theories on this one.

May have the same issue on the E in CENTS as well. Can you send a close up of the word cents?

Thank you kindly for the pic. I would say this is maybe a grease strike through as well. Maybe on the top of the S too. Looks like Jerry was very liberal with his grease that day. P.S. Those two moles on his neck look suspicious. He may want to have those checked.

It looks like the obverse die was polished at some point, resulting in some weak areas inc the mm.  There is also weakness in the jacket, neck,  and pony tail.  IMO, I think it's a cool find.  Too bad it has some environmental damage 

I think the Rev may be a minor debris filled die.

Are you going to send this nickel in for grading?
