Bella57 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 02/14/2017 6:32 pm I found these two 1979 D pennies whose mint marks look similar. Do you think these are RPM's? The notching on the lower left makes me wonder. Penny #1 Penny #2 Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/14/2017 6:51 pm Bella57, hi. That's actually a die ding, knocked the corner off. For years it was thought to be RPM, but isn't. There are some 79D RPMs looking close but...really have to match w/ known examples! Oh, and other attributing marks need to match Edited by Crazyb0 02/14/2017 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/14/2017 11:22 pm Actually it is not a die ding. It is from a damaged mint mark punch. Very common this year and found on several different dies. Until the punch is replaced, that punch will continue to make the mint mark look like that. If it were a die ding. what would it look like. It would be incuse on the die and raised on the coins. The area in question is not raised. Report this Post to the Staff
