Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 08:24 am I think I finally found something decent but if not feel free to break my heart once again. It looks like either a RPM or DDO. There are a few other spots that look like they may be doubled but my ability in that dept is still elementary at best. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks as always. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19263 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 08:56 am I'm thinking it might be a circulation hit on the top arc of the S. Too, a possible die crack on the head. Will be fun to see where this goes. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 09:01 am Might compare to 1953S-1MM-006. Thanks, Doug. https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=lds Report this Post to the Staff
Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 09:08 am Totally forgot to mention the die crack. As for attribution numbers, besides the 1953S-1MM-006 @Halo1st mentioned. In wexlers it is listed as worm-006. Here is a screenshot of that one. Also in the U of trust, is that anything? Like a die break or something or just md? Report this Post to the Staff

Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 12:38 pm Thanks everyone. And a spike head? That has to mean the die break but I'm looking it up to make sure. Thanks everyone. Tho may be the coolest thing I have found in my 7 months of roll hunting and numismatics in general. I'm stoked. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 4:01 pm As mentioned it is a match with the mark on the top of the head: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=lds Report this Post to the Staff

Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 01:27 am Thank you @ijn1944 !! I almost feel like a real numismatist. All joking aside it is very gratifying to feel like the hours and hours of reading, watching videos, and rewatching and rereading and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th guessing myself is starting to pay off. Long way to go and I can't wait to find something else. Hitting the bank with a little pep in my step tomorrow. Pick up some Starbucks gift cards for them as well. They always take care of me so I try the same. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5803 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 4:09 pm Well done and congrats on the find. As a thank you, Edible arrangements go over well but I'm not sure if covid might make a business shy away from accepting a group gift. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
