thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/08/2007 5:48 pm I can't seem to figure out if the mint mark on this cent is doubling or spill over. Someone please help me figure this one out.

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 06/08/2007 11:16 pm it is not a DDO or a RPM. I think what it is (without seeing it) is a 82 zinc cent that is starting to corrode from around the MM Gary too Report this Post to the Staff

This often pushes the copper out into a bubble. They are very common on zinc cents dated before 1990, and still happen to some extent today. Report this Post to the Staff
