But the MM would be different right? Would it be a RPM or OMM?

Going to soak this one in mineral oil and see if I can see more. Thanks for the replies. I figured MDD but was unsure with that line/division and the north direction, especially in the 1's. Thx.

I have done this also on others like the 1941S-1DO-002 I have got fooled many times on a lot of these class 6 1940's DDO... Remember they have thick dates in the first place and when thy wear they get wider. I finally noticed that one good way to tell them is the bottom of the 9 are wider then top and everything kind of looks like its writing with a thick sharpie marker like graffiti.

Yes yes yes...I was just being funny in light of the tiresome quest for the elusive and mystical DDO. Funny, ironically, I have huge numbers of 40's that are fat and damaged. Which leads me to wonder how many actual worthwhile errors actually exist. Still fun and exciting to look for. It's like playing the lotto...you are a winner until the numbers are drawn. Lol. Enjoy. |

Thanks John...Yes actually it's a bit overwhelming at first but now looking at the markers and taking out a roll specifically to go through much easier. I'm so not an expert at all though, so I rely on you guys. Check my latest post on the 1945 DDO...I tried to locate markers and hopefully I was "close". Lol. |

Still, what about the MM. Aren't they done separate? It appears to be doubled like S/S North?

Because it's the same orientation as the year it's not an S/S,...technically a Machine Doubling again & no split serifs. Coop or John is that correct? |

Coop, correct me if I'm wrong. In this case it all looks like MD to me. I don't think there has to be a split serif in all cases for it to be an RPM. Until 1990 the MM was hand punched on each die. John1 |
