pnwmakes Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 12:29 am Honestly looks like split platting I may be wrong because the pictures are grainy when I try to zoom in. But I have seen many zinc cents with splitting around the D. and if it was to the east I would expect to see some signs of a vertical bar inside the mint mark or at least a thicker vertical bar on the primary mint mark. again just my opinion let others chime in.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 01:57 am Afraid this is just some split plating and the beginning of zinc rot setting in. Not an RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 04:21 am Your coin is not an RPM and there are a bunch of known RPMs for 1986-D: http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php John1 Edited by John1 08/31/2022 04:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 09:24 am Emergent split plating mixed with a dose of Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 11:04 am When looking at that area, the surface looks irregular. If it were a RPM, it would be raised as high as the mintmark. (they are punched into the dies with a hammer an punch) Keep in mind that the dies are already hardened, so adding the mintmark with the punch take a strong blow. If has to be below the fields and show up as raised on the coins struck with that die. CoopHome: Why are mintmarks above the fields on coins? punched incuse mintmark into the die below the fields, will make it rise above the fields on the coins Report this Post to the Staff
