Interesting - maybe just a well placed hit? Looks like it would have to be a different font size if D/D.
I suspect you checked out CC on this.

Yeah, CC doesn't have a picture of 1MM-001, but says , "secondary mm shows to the southeast and is rotated CCW". Wish there was a picture....

It's one to hold onto for further study. I have a pill bottle for these issues. About half full of undocumented specimens.
Perhaps one of the experts will chime in and render good news!

Maybe this is better? Looks like a little "D" on top of a larger "D".  |

sounds like it but no pictures to verify it 100%
i know there is a Broken MM punch of 1979 but yours is not that
yours matches the D/D Southeast
and also markers on varietyvista sound good as well

Does your coin have the die scratches Ocala brought up? Kind of looks SW-NE pattern on the scratches. Latest picture does help (reduces the disparity I saw on the earlier pics).

Yup! SW-NE die scratches! You agree?  |

Yes - SW/NE pattern. Might be doubled. The MMs in the mid/late 70s always look crappy to me. Filled in when the device failed, perhaps due to its smaller size. I would have passed right over this coin as I rarely take a closer look at these dates for MM varieties.
This MM is less filled in than some I see. So maybe a normalish MM over another, normalish MM.

I don't think it's an RPM. John1  |

The overall shape of the mint mark looks normal. But did you note the contact marks on the vest, mint mark and the last digit. It maybe a contact mark that damaged the coin during circulation?
