tryingmybest Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 2:03 pm Hello and thank you for your assistance. This 1992-P mint mark looks nearly normal without magnification but with both low and high magnification it appears to have separation lines and an extra wide curve on the loop of the letter. Could it be a P/P RPM or possibly a P/D OMM? I though Mechanical Doubling but there is not just a flat shelf and the other areas of the coin don't show similar MD. Thanks for your insights. I've attached several pictures. Edited by tryingmybest 10/27/2017 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7508 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 2:15 pm What you have is DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling) coupled with a lot of metal flow ,due to a very late die state VLDS to the community Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 2:16 pm Your coin is showing the VLDS (Very-Late-Die State) because the die is near retirement. The RPMs stopped in 1990 with the mint marks on the dies. Your is a 1992 so it can't be a RPM. The dies are just breaking down. Die flow Lines: Die Deterioration: These are not collectable. The higher numbers of these happen as the die ages. The real ones to save are the very early die states. Hope this helps. (if not ask another question) Report this Post to the Staff

Very nice work and hopefully your next posted coin will be worth more than face value!

tryingmybest Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 10:39 pm Thank you Spence. I have been reading voraciously, watched hundreds of hours of YouTube, and sign into some of the YouTube error and variety streaming events. My mom was a collector and I used to collect sets and key dates as a child. Was not aware of variety and errors until recently. My mom recently passed and I've been sorting through her identified and unsearched coins- kinda helps keep me connected to her. Have found lots and certainly will post some in order to validate with the experienced members of this community. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

You have excellent outstanding quality pictures! Hopefully you will keep posting as I look forward to your new posts. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
