Can't find one like this. I believe this is an RPM, but as you all know - I'm no pro. Hoping to find validation here. The reverse looks like doublilng to me, but looking for input.
Thanks: Lou

Hey Lou.
IMHO, the mint mark looks like what I think of as "wrinkles" from the zinc, under the copper plating, oxidizing and making the copper on the surface collapse. A closeup might be helpful.

The Reverse is a die issue along with MD I believe. As an example, the secondary O under the O(ONE) shouldn't be wider than the O in the original design. In 1984 there were a lot of the same issues with the same O(ONE), that got me early on.

Looks like mostly plating issues with some MD too. As Cliff said, a nice closeup of the date/mm would be good. I blew it up but can't tell for sure.

Nice to hear from ya, Lou!

Looks like it's just plating issues, Lou, I don't see anything there. Sorry. Don't stop looking though, it's all about the numbers, roll through them.:)
