What's going on with the designer's initials on this 1985 P LMC? I haven't seen this before. My guess in deterioration due to die fatigue. What do you think?

There is no sign of zinc rot on this coin.
I'll try to get a steadier shot.

Maybe it's just a really late die state.

This could be the one gazillionth coin!

Nice find!

Die chip?
