TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 09:07 am I was excited to find an RPM. After my research it looks to be 1955D RPM-002. Stage A. It wasn't until magnification that I saw what looks like a zero underneath. Please share your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19305 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 09:22 am Nice mint mark. In relation to the other letters and numbers on a Wheat cent, that 'o' or '0' seems reeeally small. Edited by ijn1944 01/28/2021 09:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 09:24 am I agree. It's a tiny 0. I have no idea what it would be Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 09:43 am The o could just be a stain you can similar ones on both sides. Great RPM Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 10:15 am Great RPM. The "o" has toning around it that makes it likely to be a chemical or organic drop of something. Plus, which letter from a penny would fill with grease and then fall into the press to create that? Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 11:39 am Awesome RPM. What a great example. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 2:30 pm Really nice RPM. And the "O" is probably just a droplet of something that leeched outwards - Report this Post to the Staff
