Grease? I see no evidence of widened devices.
Worn die? Note not all of the devices are not affected the same.
Plating issue? I see no zinc showing
DDD had affected the devices at one time, but was polished off of the die.
This has moved into the second stage of DDD, where the ridge ring as there, but also it was polished off.
So we are seeing the second polishing of the die that removed the ridge ring on the obverse die.
Note the shadow behind the hear and towards the rim? That was how much of the field on that side that was polished away on that area.
Thus the weakness of all of the motto devices, and the missing 'L' on Liberty and the weakness on the 'IBE' devices, the normal size from the first polishing of the RTY that are reduced a little. The reverse die looks like a first or second polishing. The FG is almost gone. (Possibly the same first die marriage) but with weakened devices. That is what I see on this coin.
CoopHome: DDD, the expanding of what is known about this might surprise you on a zinc cent?

. It's sounds good because you added "error" before " ring of death", but it also sounds bad when I reflect upon my usual outcomes! 🤷 #127996;#8205;#9794;#65039;Let's say it is an error, what happens next? Does that mean I'll have just discovered the 1st 1985 no MM error & I'll be flooded with riches? Or after I send it off to be graded it'll be lost in the mail? Knowing my luck it's the latter! 🤷 #127996;#8205;#9794;#65039;
