John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 09:24 am I believe the MM punch was damaged in 1979,that's what you see on the lower left of the MM. The center of the MM could be a broken punch or die wear. I do not think it is an RPM. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 11:00 am Many dies were affected with the damaged mint mark punch. Probably the only year that made the split serif look so convincing. (others years also have mint mark punch issues, but this year it was probably mistaken for a while, until they realized the number of dies of all denominations dies that were affected that year. Then it all clicked) Report this Post to the Staff
