Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 09:51 am I have this 1968 S LMC that is either an unlisted RPM or MD. I have all kinds of MD'd mintmarks but the date also is MD'd. This is the first cent that I have that has no MD on the date. I also have many cents that the date is MD'd but the mintmark is not. Insight please. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 10:01 am 1968-72 cents had a lot of MD issues. On the 1973' cents the strike was different. The rim was deeper. So they may have tried something different to fix the issue. In 1974, they went back to the previous setup. But the MD was as common. They must have figured out what was the problem by then. (Just my observation) Report this Post to the Staff
