Can't find any listing on Coneca, so I may be wrong. #^ these proofs are hard to get decent pictures of. No opinions? Another picture. The more I look at this the more I believe it's damage. The shift just doesn't appear correct to me. Another picture and maybe mystery solved. Looking straight down at the coin, 3 appears to be normal. Till just a bit and Machine Doubling appears on lower leg of digit. Edited by MorgansRmine 02/20/2008 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 09:06 am Because it looks like there is substantial evidence of a second "S" in more than one place under the first, I think that's a bona fide RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 09:28 am I would have to see this one in person to tell much of anything for sure. There are a LOT of 1983-1984 proof cents with Machine Doubling on the mintmark, and a lot of people have been fooled by them. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 3:01 pm Can we get a picture like the third one with the entire MM. I need to see the whole thing as well as the area just under the MM. Right now from what I see, based upon the crack in the lower loop, the damage to the diagonal part of the S and what appears a be a normal die chip inside the upper loop of the MM, I would suggest that it is a damaged mintmark with the damage occurring as the coin was being ejected.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 6:17 pm I still lean toward Machine Doubling and damage but Chuck is right, these are better to look at in person. Report this Post to the Staff
