seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 9:12 pm Pretty sure on this one since the doubling occurs behind the mint mark, but I've never seen a confirmed one in person before, so checking with the experts here. After seeing hundreds of what I have termed pseudo-RPMMS on these coins (copper being scratched away on the strike revealing zinc to the bottom right of the mint mark which gets corroded, appearing like a repunch) I was excited when I spotted this sucker. http://crhfinds.blogspot.com/2008/0...ny-rpmm.html Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 11:17 pm I looks like something there, but I think it is just damage. The upright looks distorted. If it were a real RPM, then the loop should have a mark on the inside edge. RPMs are letters punched over letters. So if one part of the mint mark apprears separated, then the opposite inside edge should show a mark on the inside. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm060l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1MM_003RL.j https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._049_LDS.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ustrated.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...3D1MM001.jpg With a west or an east you might see a mark on the inside of the mint mark. I don't see it on your coin. The lower corner looks distorted. Well that's what I see anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 11:21 pm I respect your wisdom in this area coop, but is it possible on this coin that the copper platting welled up inside the D when applied and covered up the inner portion on the secondary D? Though it's not obvious in the images, when I look at it under my loupe, the inside of the D is not flat but bowl shaped. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 04:31 am I'm going with "damage" or "MD" for now. I won't mind standing corrected. Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 11:02 am Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. I wouldn't go Machine Doubling on this since I'm not seeing the same type of doubling within the curve of the D. I'd expect that much doubling to show up on the entire mint mark. I wouldn't say damage either since it's too clear. It's not the one that coop is showing either. That one is a very obvious coin when found. Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 11:35 am Anyone else think my theory about the copper plating welling up inside the D and covering the other mark is plausible? Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 6:56 pm ..also, does anyone have any example pictures for the 1985-1989 D series RPMMs? I tried Google and the only website that has anything for "D Penny RPMM" is my own blog. Nothing on ebay either. Report this Post to the Staff
