It's not possible that the punch was upside down, but it may have been tilted so that the top of the D is deeper and wider than a normal flat punched mint mark. They were still hand punching mint marks in 1989, so depth, location, tilt and other factors are sort of random. The mint stopped hand punching them on business dies in 1991.

It could also be a bit of uneven circulation flattening.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 11:17 am While there is RPM for that year/mint, the location is not correct for that die number: 1989D-1MM-025 https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=lds But your coin maybe showing circulation flattening. That will widen the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
