1982D small date RPM? 1980D RPM?

What do you think about these? on the 1982D you can see a lower split , an a bar to the west. The 1980D looks like there is an extra bar on the inside an a partial D to the east .

Looks like machine doubling to me...sorry.

I agree, I am just seeing some MD.

I was thinking the 1980 was more likely MD .The 1982 looked like it had a better chance at being RPM. Thx for your help.

If I look straight on at an image or design, (letter or number, etc.), It's easier for me, sometimes, to try and see if the doubling is 'part' of the design, (the same size), which would be MD; or 'extra' to the design, (separated or spread), which is doubled or repunched.

Fantastic photos as usual Paul! You got a new camera set-up, didn't ya?
