Ive been "seeing things" and can see a D over S...wishful thinking for sure is it a RPM? Im trying to do what Mr. Cooper said..."change your focus" and this old dog is having a hard time learning a new trick. I am focusing on the shape of the O in OF and the E PLURI..... they seems off. Pictures are 1000 words so I will leave it to them. Thanks for your time and help. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 10:01 am The mark on O on 'OF' appears to be a contact mark. Not a doubled die. Us usually on hub doubling you will see areas affected, not just one device. Usually a single device altered is a contact mark from another coin. Note how many devices are affected? Sometimes it is a certain area with just a few affected. Depending on the type of doubled dies. Class 6 doubled dies. Usually note these on the date areas. Hope this helps.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75052 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 1:38 pm Mint mark has Split Plating Doubling, causing the Copper core to split. Now the Zinc core has been exposed and will eventually rot the Zinc away over time. http://www.error-ref.com/split-peeling-plating/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
