Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 1:34 pm I found this 1993 D LMC today and while everything tells me MD I cannot figure out the mint mark. Its hard to see in the photos but there is a slight split at the bottom left hand side. It isn't shelf like you would see in most MD'd coins as this is on the devise itself. It cannot be an RPM as these mint marks were built into the die itself. The three tells me MD but I am a little stumped as this doesn't appear to be of the high bounce type of MD. I believe its MD'd but want confirmation as I haven't run across one quite like this one. Edited by Jim0815 04/09/2019 1:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 2:58 pm Best I could do Grapes, it just shows a little extra thickness, no separation or MD. David, I definitely took a hard look at that possibility of the mint mark being damaged and if it is it follows a perfect curvature at the bottom like pic 4 shows. It isn't flattened in the center of the devise like most zinc rot cents we see. I am perplexed because I haven't seen this before on a cent after 1989. One thing about it, its either something or nothing! Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 3:38 pm I do see some similarities. Now the question is, do I send it in? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 6:03 pm Is there extra thickness on the other devices? Maybe notching? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:58 pm There is no notching on any other devise. This has to be MD but it's the most perplexing one that I have seen. Report this Post to the Staff
