Not sure what is going on with the MM. Hopefully the pics are adequate for identification. Thanks for your help!

That is called split plating. When the plating is split, the zinc gets air and starts to breakdown.

When you look at the bottom of the mint mark, you can see the split. Most of the time you will see the gray zinc.

You can also see split plating on outside devices near the rim and on the Memorial building:
