southsav Pillar of the Community 2225 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 4:41 pm Welcome aboard roush. I'm no LMC expert by far, but I've asked that same question for other Lincolns. I've at least learned that is MD ( Machine Doubling). Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 6:54 pm Hard for me to tell by the photo, but I would say it's a plating issue or Die Deterioration.I don't see any MD or DD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 8:11 pm The lower SE corner of the mint mark is a fin caused by the punching of the mint mark. It raises in this area and often splits the plating during the strike. That is why that area usually shows the zinc in the EDS/MDS die states until the fin flattens. On the post 1990 dies you do not see this anymore as the mint mark is part of the design not punched in making the fin. Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 12:04 am I think hes referring to the date coop. It looks like the tail of the three has a split in it. Can plating issue cause that? If so I didnt know that. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 02:37 am The digits appear to be normal sized. Contact/coin wrapping can affect the date area probably most of the times. Why? Probably cause we look there first. Report this Post to the Staff
