Earlier today, I came across a 1975 D cent. However, this one had an unusual marking above the date. It is a rounded box with two rounded triangles enclosed in it. Looks like an upside-down flower.
Anyone come across one of these. Haven't found a picture online yet. If I can scan it, I'll attach it.
Not sure if this is common, or stamped by one of the cent's prior owners, or what.
Thank you!

| I would assume it to be stamped, which wouldn't make it rare because anyone can do it. |

| That almost sounds like the BATMAN counterstamp cent I found. Hard to say for sure without a picture. |

I looked at examples of the Masonic counterstamp, and that is not it.
Here is a sketch of the stamp. For all I know, it could simply be a stamp someone put on it for fun.

| Darn, how do you insert images from your computer on here? I hit the "insert image" button, and inserted the target file, but nothing. |

| You have to upload the file to somewhere on the internet, like photobucket or something. Then you use that link and put [.img] and [/img.] around it (without the periods) |
