I found this 1964-D while coin roll hunting. The mintmark looked funny so I shot a closeup with my USB Microscope. Is this an RPM?   |

Looks like a normal mint mark. The mark at the top might be grime on the coin?

what about the separation line along the full length of the upright? Where's that hiding?  Looks normal to me too. IMO |

I don't see it in your image provided. Take another shot of what you are seeing maybe then I will see what you have. But the spread needs to enlarge the size of the mint mark.  |

I have placed arrows on ConfeferateHalf's image where I see what looks like a separation line. The width of the upright looks wider to me too. Obviously I am wrong!  |

I maybe just die movement or ejection causing what he sees. It does not enlarge the device, so it must be a machine issue? Here is a normal 1964-D with damage on the 4 that alters the look of the cent. But is damage. But note the overall size of the mint mark. Same as the image in the thread.  Edited by coop

So I have a followup question: Looking at the upright to the left of the "separation line" which I indicated with arrows, I see an upright which appears to me to be lower than the upright to the right. That portion being lower is one of the factors which tells us that the line I indicated is not really a separation line - correct? It tells us that it is a machine issue. If it were really a separation line (and thus doubling), the upright to the left would be the same height as the area on the upright to the right - correct? And also the width of the upright can only be interpreted to be thicker than normal if both sides of the upright are the same height?

Most of the time machine/ejection damage happens above the bottom the devices. Sometimes just the top part of the device.   Because it affect part way up the device, it makes it look doubled, when it is actually a damaged device. (That is why I call them machine damaged rather than machine doubled because nothing is really doubled, but damaged.) |

Just curious Pete2226 and myself have had our picture examples (of the OPs) removed could someone tell us why please.
Is there some rule I'm not aware of? Thanks

I know there was a switch over of some sort on the site. You might send a note to staff and they can fix that. Just click on the "send note to staff" on that thread and they will fix that.

I know what your talking about Pete I can see it too-but I was wondering about Die Deterioration because I think if that was an rpm we would see something on the inside of the D to the east,not totally sure tho-and your other point I often wonder about too with the machine damage but in coops image of the RPM the upright looks lower than the original upright soooo... |
