Hey guys. I am still new at this stuff so I would love to get your feedback please. This 1987 D penny looks fairly normal to the naked eye but under magnification and at certain angles I see what appears to be additional letters in different directions. Am I just visually matrixing or is there more to what I am seeing? Sorry in advance for the photos but the lighting and angles were really proving to be difficult. Thanks for your help.

It is a worn die issue, DDD.

Yes looks like this coin was struck from a tired die.

It is impossible during the striking of a coin for additional letters
or numbers to appear ( except for a dropped letter)
What you have is just the result of a worn die.

Yes, yes. Evidence of die deterioration--including the emergence of a Ridge Ring on the obverse, running through IN GOD WE TRUST.

Typical split plating on the mintmark SE direction. Happened a lot back then. Even real RPMs, suffered the same fate:

DDD and Split plating. Just a face value coin. The areas in side of motto is also show die flow lines.That is what you are seeing. Just an aging die, and a striking event that caused the plating to split.
