I found this 1987 D LMC that looks like it could be a D/D but since this is a zinc, wondering if it is just a curious zinc bubble? I did not find a match for this one... Whatcha think?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74249 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 01:29 am That's actually a zinc rot bubble forming on the mintmark, from Spilt Plate Doubling. It's Post Strike Damage and is only unfortunately worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 04:48 am It is not a doubled die. In your title you use D/D which to me indicates doubled die. It seems you are talking about the mint mark and if it is "doubled" but that would be a RPM, which it is not. It is zinc rot from split copper plating. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 12:27 pm Thanks John... I thought D/D referred to mint mark and that DD(O) DD(R) referred to Double Die. Wasn't thinking there was any doubling...just curious if the mint mark was a bubble or a second mint mark. Figured it was rot, but thought I would ask anyway since it mimicked the D mint mark.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 2:01 pm DDO and DDR are correct for a doubled die,but when I see D/D or DD it makes me think of doubled die not a RPM. Just a FYI. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
