1988 DDR?
Here is the coin, each letter on the back has a dip in it. The dips are on parts pointing toward the center of the coin, and are most prominent on the I,T,E,D of UNITED. Is it a DDR, or just just a defect in the process used to make the coins in the '80s? Zinc pennies from these years are usually messed up one way or another.
I like work; it fascinates me.
I can sit and look at it for hours.

Re: 1988 DDR?
I see something, but I can't see much with the images. You might be able to crop the two larger ones and we can see better details?
Re: 1988 DDR?
Here's some pictures through a microscope, the bottom of the "I" seems to be doubled.

Re: 1988 DDR?
I don't believe this is doubling and what you think is a split is probably a ding. If the splits were that centered, we would see some pretty nice doubling.
