Are you referring to the split plating?

I don't know that it is just the plating, Rackster. The plating is gone and the zinc is raised. There is a Rpm for this date, but I don't know what it looks like. Just figured I'd post it here, as look it up.

There are at least 8 RPMs for that year and mint, but none I can find look like that. It could be one, it just doesn't look like it to me. It's sometimes hard to tell looking at a photo.

Pretty common. Prior to 1990, often most extreme on the Mintmark due it being at a sharper angle to the fild than hubbed designs. Can still happen post-1990 and on other design elements.  Edited by koinpro

Sorry CM - I didn't see the raised substrate. I don't think I've found an RPM for this date yet. Good luck!

Could we get a clearer, closer photo of LIBERTY?

On the 1984 cents there must have seen an issue with the LIBERTY area, as it looks taller, but the experts are not calling these doubled dies. I have been saving examples and they are easy to find when you start to look for them. So they must be common?  The upper part of the devices look taller. I save them into a tube for now.

I've been wrong many times, but it looks like MD to me. Rackster, look at my last pic, it shows the raised portion. I had a Coneca site in my favorites that said there was one in that area, but it had no pictures so I deleted it. I have a strong dislike for zinc cents. |

Well others felt it wasn't a doubled die. I don't see it now as a doubled die because it is not the same all the way down the devices. Plus the point that there many examples in circulation that I've found that were showing it and not showing it makes me think it is a die issue and not a hubbing issue. (reason: just the tops of the devices are affect and not the lower part of the same devices. Looks more like an isolated case of polishing that widened the tops of the devices to probably cover a clash in that area)
