Out of those 11 rpms that I found in the same roll, I discovered that there are 7 of the same rpm, and 4 of the same. Here is a picture of the 4, I put arrows on the lines that can be used as markers. I still cant match it with any on copper coins. Any ideas coop, or others? Any more pictures that can help identify?

In the pics above, I am looking for the lower D.... which direction is it? North, East, South or West ? This monitor at a remote location isn't the best.
Heh, I have a 5,000 count mint sealed bag I opened up and have a LOT of 1959-D RPM's.
The 1959-D year is nothing compared to the 1960-D year, I too have a bag of those and the amount of RPm's in that one is mind boggling.

Markers are typically set by the people who have identified a RPM, and those markers will assist in finding the correct RPM.
Though these areas might seem common for all the coins, see if there are any others on the coin obverse or reverse.

Identifying RPM's can be a task, or if you have multiple and cannot find an answer, people like John Wexler will do the attribution for a small fee and get the coins back to you as soon as he can - typially 3-5 weeks. I am going to send John a handful of the '59-D and '60-D I have to save my eyes and brain cells.

Well I checked the Wexler 1959 WRPMs and no match out of 111 different dies. I don't see a match on coppercoins as well. The Lower serif is very distinctive. I suspect that all the examples you posted in the two threads are from the same obverse die. They all look the same from what I can see. If there is a difference in die scratches/fading die scratches, the dies do wear with time. What are you seeing as different from the examples you posted?

different mint mark location for the other 8

the close up of the mint marks looks the same, but it is different location. Coins 1-4 that match are the first and third photo here. coins 5-11 are the second photo(tiny bit more NE mint location)

OK, I didn't notice the second image before. When coppercoins gets their new site up, they might want to see the one you have the most of. It seems list able to me because of the distinctive lower serif. The shorter serif is distinctive to other tilted RPMs.
