First roll that I open up I see this. How can it be. This looks like a RPM to me. Can some explain what this is? I don't see no slide marks just the out line of another D to me.
Any comments? I would like to here them.

It is a plating issue Frank. As you know, RPMs can not happen after 1989. I am sure you have seen things like this many times as it is very common with the zincolns.

I have no idea why I even posted this. It's got to be the new meds and I was painting on the model a last night. I had to been out of it. You guys know me better then that. LOL It was the eggnog and brandy
Are you guys 100% sure these MM's can't move? Like for instance, they are hot off the press and get bumped, leaving behind a telltale impression of where they once were. And no, I'm not having any eggnog..... yet. I will save it for the after-affects of this dumb-but-sorta serious question. BTW Frank, we all know better, but that plating issue does look like a D
Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use, and I'm glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested. Newer members like these.

Absolutely not....besides the fact that you would see everything moving around if it were even possible..the mint mark is part of the die just like everything else....even if it was added by hand.
This is a great example of how plating issues can be so deceiving on the zinc cents. I think its worth the time to occasionally look at the post 1990 mint marks just to get a feeling for the various "styles" of plating issues that can occur on coins we know for sure are not RPM's. For me at least, this knowledge goes a long way in helping weed out the questionable, pre- 90's RPM's.
I remember when I posted this 1992d.
At the time I was uneducated.
I was very nicely explained by a LCR member- 1989 d and under, it cut down my searching time dramatically !!.
