chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 5:59 pm I can see the M/M is clogged, top and bottom, but is that another S on top of the original S? Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 9:29 pm Here are two Different 1968's -I have them in my Whitman folders Coin one looks almost the same as my original post, but coin 2 is different- looks more normal. Maybe I have 2 possible rpm's? Image: 1968SfromWhitmanFolderjpeg1.jpg 50.21 KB Hopefully Bill and Chuck will be along soon for their input and expertise.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 10:58 pm The S Mintmarks on cents dated 1968 pretty much all look like that. The punch was pretty worn. It does not appear to be an RPM (Repunched Mintmark) Edited by foundinrolls 06/17/2008 10:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 12:17 am If you check on other denominations for that year you will probably see the exact same punch used on them as well until they replaced the damaged punch. One sure thing is to check an OBW roll. You will see them usually on all coins there and they were from different dies because of the damaged punch. I thought I had something unique until I realized that all of them had the same distorted mint mark punch. Report this Post to the Staff
