coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 10:29 am Not sure what you are seeing on this one? It appears to be normal from what I can see. There is gunk on the mintmark area. On a RPM, there will be evidence of a second or more punching. MMS-004 is the normal mintmark style for that year http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...20Styles.htm RPM listings for that year/mint: http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...%201942S.htm Edited by coop 09/09/2022 10:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
chgk1628 Valued Member Hong Kong 155 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 11:26 am Thanks for you opinions! Mr Cooper. After brushing the Mintmark's gunk, the mintmark looks seems like the mms-003. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 11:31 am Not RPM-003. Note the mintmark location is not the same: http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...2SRPM003.htm Report this Post to the Staff
chgk1628 Valued Member Hong Kong 155 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 11:37 am Thanks for your information! Mr Cooper, but I mean the MMS-3, not the RPM-3. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 12:54 pm Well that one is not the right RPM: Your coin appears to be a normal mintmark, not a RPM. Note the directions of the punches on the RPMs? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98752 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 7:17 pm Try soaking it in acetone over night and using a soft thorn to remove the gunk in the MM, then have a second look at it.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 7:21 pm Good idea, that might help. Wood toothpick works well. Edited by Coinfrog 09/09/2022 7:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 11:48 am Be careful with a toothpick. On the gunk that comes off, sometimes sand is mixed into the gunk. Pushing this with a toothpick can make sand scratches on the fields of the coin. (I've seen this myself on a coin) Report this Post to the Staff
