    I believe this is an RPM and as I was looking at the obverse I noticed the word looks thinner on the first three letters than the rest maybe even smaller but that can't happen can it? IMG_20230801_020910784.jpg IMG_20230801_020942240.jpg IMG_20230801_020557264.jpg

    Hello! Question for you. Do you see what appears to be the zinc layer showing? If so, then it's "split plate doubling". Would need clearer Pic of mintmark. Thanks!

    Not an RPM. Plating issue as stated.

    Meow has read somewhere that more modern coins do not have RPMs anymore. Something about them not manually punching them anymore.

    Split plate doubling is very common on zinc cents.
