Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/30/2012 02:05 am Before 1990, they used to punch mint marks by hand in the die. If there was an issue with the first mint mark, sometimes they would punch the mint mark a second time. Occasionally that would result in a ghost image of the first punch. If it was the same letter, that can be RPM. If they took a die one mint to use at another (changing the letter), that can be OMM (Over MintMark) Edited by Fuzzy317 07/30/2012 02:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 08/04/2012 01:45 am Means something smacked it and deformed it. Usually refers to coin-to-coin bumping and grinding marks. Edited by DBM 08/04/2012 01:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/04/2012 07:16 am Contact mark - something hit the coin hard enough to deform the area in question. In other words, a normal coin with damage. Report this Post to the Staff
