I have 3 photos with three different light sources to show the complete picture. Edited by Pete2226 02/23/2016 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 3:49 pm It's a 1952 S you have posted, not a D. Anyway, it kind of looks like a 1952S-1MM-012 but there is no die scratch between the 1 and 9 which that variety has. Still looks like a RPM S though. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 4:41 pm The second image show the RPM as a split upper. The first image show the devices without shadows. (a better light position angle) The third image shows shadows that appear above the date and mint mark. I usually have my lighting at 12:00 with a ramp to send the light into my scope lens. The ramp is mad from a 2X2 with dark material covering the white area on the 2X2. I have the open end with a piece of card board turned at 6:00 with the wider part of the 2X2. If the angle of the 2X2 not in this position, it direct the lighting not into the scope. So If I need the lighting different I have to rotate the coin on the 2X2, and not change that direction of the ramp. I use photoshop to edit the images to make them the right size, and put the desired information and arrows to help mame them more useful. Report this Post to the Staff

He said that it is a minor RPM and that there are about 40 very similar to this one. Just thought you all would like to know that. I think this means that I am not *completely* crazy and senile! Always good to get that confirmation! Report this Post to the Staff
