1977D Lincoln Cent - RPM? or Not?

Here's another Lincoln (1977D) Cent which I would like opinions on whether or not it has the characteristics of an RPM, if one can tell from my pics? Thanks! Fran

Here's a different angle pic of the mint mark. Maybe the different angle shot will aid in determining whether or not it is an RPM. Thanks! Fran

One quick way I do is look at magnified side view. If there's a layer/lined
separation, I sort it as RPM (OMM). My thoughts only.

Fran,
Off hand, I would say this is not an RPM. The biggest problem with this coin is the condition. Any time there are that many hits on the mintmark, it makes it increasingly difficult to attribute it.

Thanks J. I have posted a couple of additional pics that may be helful in determining whether on not this is a true RPM. I do make a habit of looking very closely to the edge of the coin I'm inspecting but, can't always get a good pic of same. I can't see any separation on the right side of the D except for where part the top D, if there are 2 Ds, corner is worn off but, there appears to maybe be separation on the top left edge, looking at it from the top of D, from north to south. I can definitely see separation in the back side of the D as shown in my first original pics and it looks to me like another D laid on the top of a bottom D only the top D is turned a little to the right of the bottom D, if there is a bottom D. Thanks again. Fran

Fran - The focus is just to blurred to make anything out on the mint marks.

Sorry BJ. I've tried and tried but just can't seem to get a good pic. In the event that I finallly do, I'll be sure to post it. Thanks so much for your time and efforts. Fran
