MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 12:44 am Got this in change yesterday. When looking at it this evening the MM caught my eye. I haven't found any RPM's in my change yet. Is this one? The MM looks similar to the ones on Coppercoins.com. So RPM or PMD? Which is it? Thanks again...Mont Report this Post to the Staff

Almost looked like a die chip there. This is what caught my eye. There also is a raised part just above the lower serif on the MM. extends into lower loop. Just saw your reference. What I am looking at seems to be a common problem but not part of the RPM....Oh well I'll find one eventually. Edited by MontCollector 03/22/2017 01:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 1:51 pm The dies were probably not softened when they added the mint mark punch. So the punch was probably hardened, punching into a hardened die, so they probably didn't last too long. They were also used on different denominations as well. Report this Post to the Staff
