Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 4:57 pm I see what looks like Die Deterioration in the date and also I think in the D mintmark. But the D almost looks more like a large D over a smaller D. Any ideas what I am seeing here? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 5:02 pm @coin, rather that a doubled die or RPM, it looks to me like you have split plate doubling. One the mintmark, I think that the underlying zinc has started to deteriorate.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95751 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 6:11 pm Not seeing an RPM here just DDD and possibly severe MD. Maybe a plating bubble under the MM. But with the photos given, I don't see any of the zinc core showing to say it is split plating though. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 6:28 pm Yep good point. That could be mostly DDD rather than split plate doubling, although the sunken area around the mm definitely means to me that there was a break in the copper plating.
