@gigi, your coin exhibits DDD, but I don't think that this is what you are talking about. In the loop of the letter P, there appears to be a small die crack. Despite you not having a RPM, that would actually be kinda interesting because normally we don't see this early stage of a so-called broken post. Or at least I don't recall seeing this previously.

Yes I know, I was looking on internet and on the websites that we can find all this information, maybe you can't see the pic very well, I will tried to take the pic again later and post here, I will take the pic at the whole penny too.
My husband doesn't know nothing about coins, but I show him the coin and he said that it seems to have a "D" over "P", so if so I think this will be the first one found rpm.

Well I think that your pic looks quite good. I would mention though, that the mint stopped using the process which produced RPMs in 1989. Since the mint marks were no long applied to the dies by hand after then, it is my understanding that it is impossible for there to be a RPM on a US coin dated after that.
Hopefully others will weigh in soon to either reinforce this or else gently correct my thinking.
Added: also, it is a small thing but technically a P/D mintmark would be an OMM rather than a RPM.

Agreed. RPM s stopped in 1990. 1989 was the last year for RPMs.OMMs stopped long before that. John1  |

Looks like a plating blister in the P, and the upright has taken a hit. 17 was the only cent to have a P, as stated above rpms and omm are not possible now.

I agree on this not being a RPM.
No RPMs after 1989.

Yep, mint marks were not added by hand-punching into dies after 1989, so it can't be an RPM. Quote:

(" or else gently correct your thinking ") I agree, Spence really does have a great way with words. But what he actually said was: Quote:

Just DDD. Why? Because DDD is seen on the fields and in the direction of the closest rim. That is what your coin is showing. DDD is on the single squeeze dies. As the die ages, it show exactly this. |
