I think it is the WRPM-057 D/D Tilted , Northwest of your MM shows a damage to the serif.  Photo by Brian Ribar |

Pretty sure what you see is a die chip on the upper part of the vertical bar. That said, it is a split lower serif but your lighting is off to indicate it well enough and to determine if there is a separation ridge along the bottom. Look for the deeply struck (Punched in) MMs to attribute  |

Thank you chase007, let me look that one up and see if there are markers to compare and how the mm lines up with the date.
Thanks!

Crazy! You are too fast! Nice job. Did you see the 3rd image, seems deep enough.

I agree, OP's placement seems a bit lower.but that was what seem to be the closest.

I saw about 8-12 listings with a deep MM on bot VV and CC, but having trouble sitting at computer and don't work on el cheepo tablet to do side-by-sides on all of them

Thanks for trying. I need to find a good side by side app. Had one but it never updated for the new iPhones.

Because of what I can eyeball it, looks like Coppercoins: 1961D-1MM-033, Coneca:RPM-033, Wexlers:WRPM-078...but need placement/markers, too many similar...almost as bad as 1960Ds!

Thank you Crazyb0, I found a new comparison app ($1.99), might be the 33, it's close (but the more I look at it not convinced)  Edited by AMB

The area in question the left side of the mint mark looks like it might just be part of a lamination on that area? It may have rolled around to the left off the top of the mint mark. But the Wexler site on some of the years have just the best of. I've heard that for 1960-D RPMs, Wexler had over 300 for that year. So not all of the RPMs are listed. I save them in a roll by year or for wheat cents, decades. The 1961D-1MM-033 is not that die number. Note on the 033, the rotation of the mint mark is different. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...1DRPM033.htmSometimes hard to find a match. Best to spot great markers to see if they match up to a listed one. But keep in mint the same events happen to all dies, so some markers are common all most dies. But if you can a die crack/chip/break or something special with your coin that is a start. But always look for the variety first, markers are secondary. |

Thank you Coop! Nice to find you the author of the CC photo I used in comparison. The area I've circled would you say it is a die chip? That wouldn't be solitary to one coin, you'd expect to see others like it?  |

If it were a lamination, changes are it would be thin and could be moved a bit with a nudge. If it is a die chip, then it would not budge. It just looked like the top of the mint mark in that area, had moved to there from what I can see on the image.
