A wonderful case of it being a smart thing to keep something odd. Your coin sense was working  |

Definitely see a triple D. However, the lower cleft does have a scratch in the mix, fortunately the top cleft doesn't. Keep in mind that a mint Mark doesn't have to be listed to exist! There are tons of mint marks out there. I would double check the rest of the coin REAL CLOSE, obverse and reverse, for double dies... You never now! Just in case.

Willburton, Good Eyes to detect that inspite of all the spotting on the coin and smart to save it. What you have is a Triple repunched MM 1957 WRPM-009 RPM#9 DDD Rotated CW & CCW. Here is a close up shot of the one I have showing the tripling on yours.This is EDS ,yours seem to be a Mid to LDS with a die gouge below the 9 of date!   Corrected typo. Edited by Chase007

You can at least get the surface dirt off with a soft cloth before you 2x2 it!

Sorry to keep posting on this one but I've looked at all the mint marks I could find and can't find a perfect match the most distinguishing feature on the coin is a large die crack left wheat stem to edge and the two die gouges near the mm. Here's a couple more pics comparing mine to a couple others. If it is a possible new mm Should I send it in? Once again thanks guys!!   |

jay4202.. I think it is RPM-09, although it is no mention of die gouge by Dr. Wiles but bare in mind as the die progresses , details change and vary form coin to coin! who knows how many hundreds or thousands on this variety was produced bu the same die!! http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...7DRPM009.htm |

Chase, I understand that markers come and go throughout the life of a die, but the location of the mint mark does not change. That is THE constant die marker. The D on the OP's coin is too far to the east to be 009. The bowl of D on the OP's coin is under the bottom point of the 5. On RPM-009, the bowl of the D is clearly to the left of the bottom point of the 5.
I can't find a listing for this RPM. May want to contact Wiles or Wexler. Wexler may have a listing, it just doesn't have images up yet.

Look at these 2 images. OP's coin cropped and Coppercoins image cropped. See how far the D is from the tail of the 9 on the OP's coin. Definitely not 009.   |

Send it to John A. Wexler. I submitted two new 2005 DDR's. It's in the processing line right now getting processed. Errers and Varietys.
