This coin has a different look. It has a extra flat spot on both upper and lower part of the mm to the west and also to the east. I couldn't get a good picture for you to see. I hope what I did post, help's.

It does look a little different. But considering it is circulated may have something to do with it. The lower part of the mintmark looks like a hit, the upper serif looks like something may have gone one with the punching, but from what I can see it is too minor to look at right now unless there is something that I'm missing. It usually takes several punches to shape the mintmark. Some one top each other, some shifting to give width/depth to the mintmark. But when there is a separation, then we take another look at it. The larger the separation the more we want to look again. Things like this catch our eye, but after we figure them out they usually go back into the pile to spend or save as wheats/coppers. So I would say no right now, but maybe someone else can see something I've missed?
