mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 08/11/2016 05:57 am I do not see anything similar to yours at http://doubleddie.com/311201.html and the section at 4 o'clock appears to be PMD. Also can the stuff located at the interior section at 1 o'clock be removed with a toothpick or porcupine quill? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2016 3:52 pm Note the bottom serif where the arrow is? That is called a split serif. This occurs when a mint mark punched is either rotated or tilted striking the die to enlarge the punched mint mark. When this occurs it is called a RPM because of the split on that area. That is called a spread/separation of the punching. The will be punched over and over until the desired depth if the mint mark is into the die. Although minor, it is a RPM. (possibly someday they will be listed) I save them incase someone wants to list them in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
