coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2016 11:13 pm I didn't see a match either. The lines below the mint makes we wonder if it is die scratches? Second image. I've seen die scratches that look like a RPM to the east before on a coin. When I rotated the coin 90 degrees, I could see the lines through top-middle-below the mint mark. But hang on to it for now. Get some betters images and maybe we should send them to John Wexler to see what he thinks? Edited by coop 12/14/2016 09:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 08:52 am IMO you have a reasonable chance that it IS an RPM. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 10:59 pm Did you try an image rotating the coin 90 degrees? When the light falls across the mint mark/field area, it will make die scratches stand out more. It is a RPM because of the split lower serif. But the center of the mint mark, the jury is still out yet. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 2:59 pm I would keep it for now. But I suspect it is die scratches. Die scratches flatten quickly in the open fields. But next to a device (or inside a device) that last a lot longer. So watch to see if it gets listed. The center line looks like it maybe the one you see in the center of the mint mark. Also there appears to be something distracting on the upper NW corner of the mint mark. It is so thin it looks more like a die scratch. A punching would be wider. Report this Post to the Staff
