papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 06/25/2012 9:16 pm hard to see if it is a rpm or just Die Deterioration. Could you get a clearer brighter close up? real nice looking 1984-S Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 08:44 am Definitely worth it to send it to coppercoins.com or James Wiles. It could be the first RPM for that one. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 5:24 pm I will consider sending it to coppercoins. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 09:02 am This is not a repunched mintmark. It is common on 1983-1985 proof cents and has something to do with how the mintmark was applied to the die. As a side note, anyone who says a proof coin has Die Deterioration Doubling does not understand Die Deterioration Doubling. Proof dies are used for fewer than 10,000 strikings. It takes FAR more than that for Die Deterioration to become evident. In general - proof coins cannot have Die Deterioration Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 09:38 am Very strange. I guess it was a newbie punching the dies then? Or was it done by some other method? Just curious as to why those 3 years, if you had any insight on it or not. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 1:03 pm OK, Now the question is, would this detract from the value of this coin, I believe this coin could grade at PF68+ Edited by wrongalot 06/27/2012 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 07:47 am No it would not detract from the value of the coin because the anomaly is too small to affect the grade. ou should hope for at least a PF69 grade, because PF68 wouldn't be a big winner.

wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 08:51 am I do hope for PF69, I was being optimistic, I think it could grade at PF69. I purchased it from a dealer in Tulsa, paid $2.00 for the mint set, still in original package. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 05:05 am I doubt this would have come from a mint set - the coin is proof. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 2:25 pm I broke it out of a hard plastic set, Proof set? Report this Post to the Staff
markj11 Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 4:09 pm Why would a proof coin have so many die polish marks? Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 4:24 pm Just from your pics. The spots, polish lines/scratches etc. This coin will not grade at 69. Just keep it, as it is interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
