Oldhoopster Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The mint stopped punching mint marks into individual dies in 1989, so it isn't a RPM. Looks more like die deterioration Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I agree with Die Deterioration. See the flow lines close to the rim which has also affected the mm. Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It looks like a bad paint job with all those wrinkles in the metal near the mint mark. Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
