1986-D RPM?

It looks like an RPM to me. What do you people think? I couldn't match it. THE d looks like Coneca RPM-001 except the numbers look way different.

Looks like DD to me the way the device peels off into the field. Zinc creates many illusions that's for sure!

Sorry, looks like split plating.

Appears to be split plating and MD!!!

I agree with Jim. I see MD and a plating disturbance. I can see why you think it resembles rpm-001. The stage A photos there also show a coin with a plating disturbance, but this is not part of the rpm. Look at the stage C photos, and you can see the actual rpm much better there. On your coin, the "doubled" potion cuts into the normal size of the device. Plating splits and disturbances are common on these mid-late 80s mint marks. They often develop corrosion there and the thing disintegrates from there.

I love this photo Coop donated for the glossary:

Excellent pics. I had this coin for a while. It was in my questionable jar. I pulled it out the other night as I was culling bogus coins. I thought I'd ask before I tossed it.
Thanks
