Is my 1988-D Lincoln Cent a RPM?

Just wondering if this is zinc rot or possibly an rpm? Couldn’t find anything like this one. Thanks for any info!

Not an RPM just an average zilincon anomaly I don't even bother looking for them besides 1982 and under but still a cent http://www.varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/RPMs 1988D.htm

 

Zinc rot.

 

Clearly zinc rot.

 

Zinc Rot?

 

Wash your hands after handling zinc rot.

 

Split plating along the edge of the mint mark exposed the zinc core and led to corrosion. Split plating in this area was a problem on early Zincoln cents in the 80s.

 

Rot, rot, rot, same as going, going, gone.

 

These mess up there a lot. The strike dislodges the plating, then nasty things pop up in the void, like that white junk. While it looks like a part of a D, that's the orientation of the lifted plating, not another mint mark.

 

Thank you all!

 

Yup, definitely zinc rot caused as described by @Oldhoopster.
