1989d rpm.? Looks like Seperation in d mm

[Guest]

It appears to have Seperation at the upper part of the d. Is the date doubled? Looking to see if this is common or not. Thanks

Looks like some playing issues. Other than that, a normal coin. Keep up the hunt!

Again, you have a plating disturbance here. The striking process will often stretch/stress the plating on the rim side of the devices, (even causing it to split often exposing the zinc) which causes a "doubled" look.

I see more die wear than a plating issue, but it's present as well (as noted). Very, very common for 1989-1992, and still prevalent from 1984-present. You got a nice shot, it shows the incuse die wear offset SE from the date and the orange peel nature of the surface (indicating die fatigue).
