Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 12:31 pm I found this 1989 D LMC in some pocket change. It almost looks tripled. The closest thing I can find is the 1MM-009 on coppercoins and the RPM-009 on VV. But it doesn't quite match as their examples Do not show Doubling to the South AND West. This mintmark does.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 1:37 pm This may be nothing at all but this RPM doesn't match anything, the 1MM-009 on Coppercoins and the RPM-009 on Variety Vista shows doubling to the South. This rpm shows doubling to the South AND West. The last two pics were borrowed from coppercoins and Variety Vista. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 2:11 pm The Zinc is exposed on the east side of the mintmark, but the serif below the upper serif and the extra vertical bar to the left of the main vertical bar is not Zinc rot nor is it a plating issue. I've been able to orient the pics so I will post them in a few minutes. Edited by Jim0815 10/05/2018 2:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 2:28 pm It is a match: The triple must be MD that split the plating on that area. That was what made if look different. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 2:31 pm It was the closest thing I could match Mr. Coop. So the serif below the main serif on the mintmark is MD as well? Edited by Jim0815 10/05/2018 2:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 2:36 pm The area below is plating distortion. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 3:00 pm Plating distortion can be pushed flat. It cannot be moved or flattened with a toothpick so MD seems to be more plausible, correct? Report this Post to the Staff
