1984 D Lincoln Penny Mintmark Doubling 1 1

[CommunicatorDan]

Hello Everyone,

 

I came across this 1984 penny, I looks like there is doubling on the mintmark maybe even tripling?

I would love feedback and opinions.

 

Thank you

   The image that has a whitish color is "split plating", a very common characteristic of "D" mint copper plated zinc cents from the 1980s and 1990s, not a repunched mintmark (RPM) or anything else desirable. I'm not sure about the other extra image but believe it to be the result of strike doubling. I checked the Variety Vista site for 1984-D cent RPMs, and this coin doesn't appear to match any of the three varieties listed there. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/RPMs 1984D.htm.

There can’t be Doubling on the mm as it was hand punched into the die in 1984.   What you have as Sandon described  is a combination of split plating and machine doubling. Neither add any premium.

Skin cancer. Trust me. I have the wounds to prove my expertise.

I get it the white spot above D is corrosion and white spot at the SE or 5:00 position is separation. Just above the separation is where I am focusing. The Lincoln Cent RPM Book Volume 2 shows a 1984 D with RPM-003 which looks just like mine. 

 

Thoughts?

Your mint mark is too far to the left to be a RPM-003. It has to be in the exact position.
