papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 10:01 am John1 or Coop, could it just be a die gouge? I said RPM but they stopped hand punching before that date, my mistake. Edit..1989 is the last year for hand stamping...I am a dummy.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 11:29 am The area in question sort of matches what is missing off the mint mark. I wondered if it was transferred to that area. But you say it's not. I tried an overlay for a RPM and couldn't say it was close enough to be a RPM. So at this point, I just don't know. I would mark it and keep it in file and sometime when you submit it to coppercoins (With others that you want to have attributed) you might have it look at it and see what he thinks.
