jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 6:54 pm Lots of stuff going on with the mm on this coin. I want to think rpm, but can'f find anything close at cc or ebook. Any ideas or look familiar to anyone? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 11:04 pm Jprine, the rim looks to me like a misaligned die. You sir, are certainly the RPM expert. It looks like a RPM to me also. If you can't find it on Copper Coins or Ken Potter Variety Coins or Wexler, etc. Maybe you should send the picture to Wexler and see what he thinks.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 09:58 am I agree I can find nothing already documented on this using said resources. The closest I've found was listed here on CCF a year ago on a 1970S SD, which this one is not. The punch was thought to be damage. https://goccf.com/t/181739 The mark to the West looks like a possible polish line, but could be wrong. Also see no notching or distinct separation. If anybody else I'd say wait for "jprine" to comment, but wait that's not an option. Thanks, Doug. Edit: Added link nice 3D image of MM.

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 10:00 am Strange one. I've never seen this. Can you take another image of the MM at a slight angle? Edited by koinpro 07/01/2015 10:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 4:01 pm I'm probably wrong but it kinda looks like the normal damaged MM punch was used and then the coin took a slight hit on the MM? Maybe coop can shed some light on this one? John1 Edited by John1 07/01/2015 4:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 6:10 pm I agree with John1. Looks like it took a hit. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 10:15 pm When you open the coppercoins page to the 1970-S RPMs and doubled dies, you see the same thing going on with the damaged punch on them. When looking at different denominations you would probably see that on them as well. The die is also in the LDS range when your coin was struck, so any field polishing/damage on the die would also show up as raised the coin. I would save it for now until we find out more about it.
