[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2604821, member: 69760"]There looks to be a cud or perhaps some type of doubling on the lower loop on the "S" MM. Could this be an RPM? I couldn't really find any info on this - have any of you come across a 1968-S penny like this? There are also heavy numbers of scratches on both sides of the coin, but those appear to be die scratches. One of the reverse pics, the scratch lines appear to run below the devices. So, maybe heavy cleaning / polishing of the die somehow adversely affected the MM, causing some sort of cud or other doubling (?). Sorry for the poor pics, esp. of the MM. Maybe I'll take out my USB microscope if it's too difficult to discern what's going on with the MM given the pics I took. Thanks in advance!
