pman860507 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 12:20 pm No saying you're wrong. these questions are for informational purposes since I have never see anything like this. if the coin was hit by a larger reeded coin wouldn't there be more marks on the coin then just the D. I do actually agree with you that this is not a RPM. the D's look nothing a like. if it was a RPM they would be the exact same D right? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 1:39 pm "If" it is an extra mint mark the mint could have tried to abrade the error and left some of the mint mark. It is definitely not an RPM. If it is a mark from a reeded coin why is the extra D raised? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 7:35 pm I don't have the luxury of being able to see the coin in 3-D, so I cannot disagree with the part about the mark being raised. What I can say is that it is not a mintmark - a misplaced mintmark would be the exact same shape and size as the mintmark already on the coin. Any punching/repunching is generally done with the same punch, and even if it is a different punch, they only used one style of mintmark that year. The reason the mark could be raised is pretty simple to me - if you hit a flat pliable surface hard enough, it will crater the surface and the edges of a crater are always raised. It looks like your coin took a dig from something - whether it's a larger reeded coin or not is a debatable issue I would not argue. It was a guess. The part that was not a guess is that the mark is damage to the coin - not a repunched mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 07:58 am Just wondering if this could be a dropped letter error?. Or would that be in-cused? Thanks, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
