Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 2:08 pm I was going through some of my wheats because I knew I had a couple good die chips to post and I found this one. Apparently I don't inspect the mm very well this one was cruddy and this is what I get for wiping it off!! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 2:57 pm Normally I would think it was MD. But the date doesn't show any evidence of this. So I looked at coppercoins and it is a RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 5:22 pm Nice. What am I seeing behind the 8? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 5:27 pm I do see that. I'll look at it again Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 5:44 pm I looked at several examples on PCGS and they didn't have those marks. I wondered if it were a master die issue, but it may just be die damage on the date area. Even the BU examples for this die FS-501 didn't have them on those examples either. Click to enlarge,but it is a huge image. Click to enlarge it on certain areas. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 11:23 pm What is behind the 8 is from engraving. It can be found on coins from all three mints . The OP's coin looks to be an early die state and shows the anomaly quite well! Here is a pic of my rpm #2 which shows the anomaly some but nearly as well. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/31/2017 04:21 am On the OPs' coin, the anomaly almost looks like a D mint mark? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 10/31/2017 06:19 am I definitely see what you are talking about John1 .I compaired the height of the anomaly to what would have been the high points of the mintmark punch and the anomaly looks to be too short to have been made by the punch Report this Post to the Staff
