Phantasm1970 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 03:18 am Hello! I ran across this cent earlier and have been trying to do some research on it, and now I need some opinions and thoughts! I have looked at quite a few 1989D RPM I could find on the web, but I cannot seem to locate this one, or maybe I am not looking at it correctly. I'm pretty sure it is an RPM? I also see a little split plate doubling around the south-east of the mint mark. And is that Die Deterioration to the right of the 9 and the 8 in the date? Thanks! Removed some images.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 03:57 am Split platting around the date, rpm would be fairly unlikely due to when it was minted. Photography is great, the cent pretty common albeit unremarkable, Value, sorry to say, 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Phantasm1970 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 04:21 am It looks much different through a 20x loupe than it does a $14 microscope. There are three distinct parts-- the mm, then what 'could' be MD, and then split plating. Too many photos? No way! Report this Post to the Staff

I read that cents were the first to switch over to stop using rpms, with quarters and halves were the last (Spilling over to 1990).I did not see evidence of a rpm on your cent.
