    I'm not talking about the mint mark. I'm talking about the strikes

    None of what you stated in your title.
    Looks like a normal Cent with circulation hits.
    Slightly misaligned die strike but so are thousands of other cents. Some plating bubbles near his chin.

    Looks normal for a coin that has circulated for 27 years.

    No, there really isn’t something else either.

    The obverse has a nice strong strike but the reverse had die deterioration and a weaker strike...evidence is the lack of definition of the Memorial steps...jmho...Spark

    Okay another 1994 and a 1982 d LD. It's hard to tell for me. 20210101_202407.jpg 20210101_202455.jpg 20210101_202630.jpg 20210101_202710.jpg

    Surprising the OP coin doesn't have "zr" (yet; it will). :D

    From post #14, the ‘94-D...things to look for and your coin has:

    Flat hair under W/WE, MD at forehead and nose, worn beard at chin and flattening at left end of bowtie. These are all high areas of the design and most susceptible to wear, as well as the cheek, eyebrow and lapel, but the top part of the obverse is blurry so I can’t tell. The reverse has very weak steps in the middle and S OF is weak at the top.

    The reverse weaknesses, along with the obverse flat hair, is a result of a weaker than normal strike...no value and common.
    The high area wear on the obverse relegates the coin to no better than AU58, the MD is self explanatory.

    Now, I took the effort to explain your coin to illustrate what you must learn to do for your own due diligence. Doing so will make you a better collector and numismatist, and save you untold hours of time, effort and $$. I am not trying to act superior. But experience matters.

    Hope this shines a light for you...jmho...Spark

    Experience comes after knowledge and I enjoy spending every second getting more closer to see whats on the coin. It's fascinating how much detail goes into one coin.
