Any ideas about this serif ?
A deteriorated/filled die version of the pointed or square serif ?
The back end of the 2 looks more upright compared to these two which appear a bit more slanted to me.

It's sporting a B63A mintmark type so my money
is on some weird die fill going on around the 2.

The B63C mintmark has a slight oval appearance to it.

It is certainly not a B63B or B63D.
