HumeCudenbe New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 03:30 am Initially looked like possible D/D but upon closer look saw some other things that were odd. Almost appears a tone of silver on obverse and not sure if that's plating worn off or ?Random letters throughout the image or numbers; with some being smaller than normal. One example is on left leg of "M" on reverse. Others are scattered around. Would appreciate any helpful input on what this is. I'm sure this nothing and worthless beyond a penny, but still thought I'd check. Thanks in advance for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 05:44 am Aside from the strange coloring on the obverse, it looks like a normal coin. the reverse has a normal copper coloring, but the obverse could be staining from another source or jusr environmental toning to it.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19212 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 07:27 am A well-circulated '84 D cent, complete with staining/environmental toning. A sharp close-up of the mint mark will likely show circulation damage, such as a hit. Possible that mint mark split plating may be present--can't tell from posted image. Pareidolia is also in play--explains the random characters. Worth one full cent. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 11:50 am Often the SE area of the mintmark will show split plating. But sometimes the split happens inside of the mintmark: When you see gray color, then you know it is an issue with split plating. Happens a lot on the Memorial reverses: Report this Post to the Staff
