antmark3d Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 8:02 pm Is this a noticeable error on the "D"? It looks to me that it has a double "D"? any thoughts? Thanks in advanced! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 8:12 pm @antmark3d, looks like a re-punched mintmark to me. Have you checked out variety vista yet?

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 8:22 pm I see why Mark would say that, there is a hit on the upper left serif, but I agree with Spence it does look like it could be an RPM, it resembles the RPM-004 in VLDS. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 8:41 pm Funny, because normally I try to be the biggest skeptic on this stuff. @mark1959, I think that you just out-grouched me.

Just like die cracks and chips - if they arent big enough I throw them in the change jar. I used to keep them all but after years of searching ya kinda only start keeping the "good stuff" Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 9:46 pm http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...5DRPM004.htm Looks more like stage C. But check for die scratches to see if they match up to any posted in the above link. Edited by coop 03/28/2018 01:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 9:46 pm I agree with 004. Placement is correct & you can see the upper curve inside the primary D near the top. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
