Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 8:42 pm While the top left part of the S looks similar to the VV example, I think that your MM is not a match. I do not see that big die dent coming out from the 9, and the die crack on the reverse is not even close to a match on VV. It is possible that it is just a circulation hit. Collecting since 1972.

Alonzowick90 Pillar of the Community United States 654 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 9:29 pm I totally agree that it has PMD, but it does look like a match if you forget about the circulation hit, the die crack is in the exact location and MM as well. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8842 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 10:11 pm Alonzowick90, as I have told you a few times before, the mm location needs to be exact. If you look at them side by side, you can easily see that yours is further east than VV's 003. Notice how yours is under the tail of the 5? That being said, yours does look like an RPM, just not VV's 003. Yours looks to have a split in the upper serif that I have an arrow pointing at. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75418 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 10:17 pm It's an RPM, but not RPM-003. Remember, the mint mark location and die markers have to exactly match. It can't be close, it's has to match exactly. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6611 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 10:34 pm There are a few other possibilities on coppercoins.com. What about positioning the light from the top instead of the bottom, so the notch is more visible? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 08/08/2024 11:39 pm Don't know how but that "split" may be a shadow effect or a well placed hit. But is seems to fade in the pictures at different angles... Report this Post to the Staff
