1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Not to me, I don't see anything evidence in the opening of the D and when the mint marks get mashed during circulation they can look like this. I suggest comparing them to coppercoins.com and looking for die markers.

I agree with Daniel. And looking at some of the nearby devices it appears like there may be some mech. doubling occurring. And sometimes it is hard to tell with a single image. But having the coin in hand, you have a better view to help determine if the marks around a MM are actually from an RPM, MD, die scratches/gouges, or circulation wear.
Be sure to Visit the coppercoins.com site. Very helpful with images of most known varieties. Thanks for posting and sharing.

I'd say the 1970 is the most obvious out of the three. Definite RPM

We're seeing too many image artifacts to be certain.
