I found this penny with what I hoping is a repunched mint mark. Let me know what you guys think and as always thank you in advance.
Check out this site and check the die markers. Hope this helps. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/dietype.php?date=1988&die_mint=d&die_type=mm&page=0
This appears to be a case of split-plate doubling...very common and often mistaken for an RPM. The copper plating split open around the mintmark creating a raised anomaly. Keep up the hunt!
It does not look like a die break IMO. I have seen many other coins with split-plate doubling in pretty much the exact same area. You can see a similar effect here: http://lincolncentresource.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26715
It doesn't allow me to view the link to the photo since I'm not registered there. I don't collect them because those little buggers give me headaches. So do dimes! Chris
If it were an RPM (which I don't think it is), I would expect it to show in more than just that one area. I would at least expect to see the vertical bar of the mintmark as well. Here is an example of split plate doubling... http://koinpro.tripod.com/OFD/1993D1cPSD.jpg And here is an example of a platting bubble that decided to rot. It has a similar appearance to the coin in this thread.
