Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 11:09 am This layman suspects that one, some, or all of these may be RPM's. I'm most skeptical of coin 2 because the "A" at the end of "AMERICA" just below is classically MD. I've spent much time on the error and variety sites identifying and matching other of my RPM's. These are my failures; either because I reached a point of exhaustion too soon or because my suspicions are unfounded. By way of apology, I am aware of the forum's preference for single coin submissions that include obverse and reverse images. It just seems inappropriate to waste that much time and space in this case - that is -- unless one of the experts advises that more info would be in order. I cropped these out of fuller images.

I don't think space is an issue with your appropriately efficient use of photography. For me, having each coin as a separate thread makes searching for prior threads dramatically easier. This one is fine as-is though, but moving forward it would be super-cool for your to separate them. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 6:22 pm @kcm, no we are fine with this thread as-is. As far as the mintmarks go, coin #2 looks like a well-placed hit. I'm not sure on the others though.

Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 09:09 am I thank you both. I think I'll put #1 and #3 in 2x2's marked "? RPM" and #2 in a jar. Then I'll follow the posting advice. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 9:01 pm While #1 looks looks like this one: http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...8DRPM003.htm It would be hard to identify for sure with out a wider shot and the lower split serif looks like it was wiped out with contact and a VLDS (Very-Late-Die State) with strong flow lines. Rest are mostly MD. Report this Post to the Staff
Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 10:16 am Thank you @coop for the assist. @Spence is right: one coin is plenty to discuss. As I am down to just one, I tried to comply with your wider shot advice. I also used my 42 megapixel camera (earlier I used the 14 MP). I also duplicated the last photo so people could analyze it both with and without my personal Pareidolia. Kevin Edited by Kcm 01/15/2021 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 1:14 pm Oh dear! @pound foolish. Now I have to search the jar and study further. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
