Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 7:43 pm There are RPMs with three distinguishable mintmarks, but this isn't one. Rather I think that the copper plating has split and the underlying zinc core is starting to deteriorate.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 8:43 pm Zinc Rot corrosion is eating away at the Zinc core underneath. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that the damage happened after it left the U.S. Mint. It's worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 10/10/2018 10:42 am There can certainly be a D/D/D, even more than that, but yours is unfortunately not a RPM at all. Your coin is suffering from zinc rot, which plagued almost all of the 80s zinc coins. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/10/2018 2:06 pm You coin has a split plating issue. Not a RPM. Very common to see this on the zinc cents. Report this Post to the Staff
