Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 5:01 pm I've had this cent for a few years and kept it because of the deeply pinched mintmark. This 1987 D LMC is a curiosity to me not because of the deeply punched mintmark but because of the word LIBERTY. It almost appears doubled but in the opposite direction than the ones attributed. I can see it most on the BERTY. The bottom right horizontal of the letter T looks notched and the upper right arm of the letter Y looks notched as well. The B looks odd shaped as well as the letter R. May just be from DDD. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 5:31 pm I know the Ridge Ring shows the DDD. As well as the split plating. My curiosity lies in the shapes of the devises. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 9:16 pm Jim, There is a lot going on there, but if I just focus on the outline of the lettering and not all the texture I'm not seeing any enlargement. Even the arms of the T are an optical illusion as the right arm looks thicker but I took a ruler to them and they are the same. It's an eye-buster, but not thinking DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/10/2020 05:18 am Thanks TB! It is a lot to look at and I admitted it was probably DDD. It still is a curiosity to me and will keep it in a tube with all the other deeply punched mintmark cents. Report this Post to the Staff
