Nickel Die Crack 1961 &1961-D

rpm ?

No RPM. The mintmark just shows Die Deterioration Doubling.

okay but why is it on the d mint in the same spot as the p mint. there are 7 coins here not just 1 , all profile shoots and two d mint (rpm) shoots.

Great images. The dies are showing very strong VLDS and strong Machine Doubling. Note image #4. The Machine Doubling is showing sever metal movement on the face Eye, corner of cheek. So I feel the MD caused the metal movement on that edge of the jaw. I'd save it to compare with other examples you might find later on to see if this is the case. (sorry I'm the type who like confirmation with more examples) Image #12 looks like the same event on that coin also. At first I thought it was an image of the same coin, but looking at both, I realized it was a different coin. I've never seen a die crack on that area on a nickel ever.

You might compare mint mark locations? If they are different, then the coins are probably not from the same roll. The die states seem to be a bit to different on the mint mark areas and the bust areas. That is what I would do. Make side by sides of the mint mark areas.

here are some more pics , sorry ahead of time I know there not good ,but it's the best I can do.so it's 4 of each d's and p's . all with the same die crack .

I agree with coop.

okay not die cracks , but you just said what they are ( Die Cracks are supposed to be raised above the surfaces slightly) this is what I see . I got 8 ,maybe I should mail one to you E&v I just don't know that's why I asked .but I will stop calling them that. I just was trying to share. a show and tell . thank every one for looking.
