Spence Moderator United States 34432 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 09:40 am Maybe 1970-S RPM-003? That one seems to have those slanted lines too in the bottom half of the mintmark, but check for the various die markers: http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...%201970S.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 1:31 pm If you look at all the RPMs on that page, you will note the same lines on that area. That is not part of the RPM. That is from a damaged mint mark punch when it was placed on the die. They will show up more or less on all the dies until the mint mark punch is replaced. Not a RPM. Mint mark punch damage.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 3:44 pm Coop, is there a list compiled somewhere of all the damaged puncheons? Like this , the 79D and others. I've never run across a concise listing anywhere? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 4:14 pm Each year or two it was replaced because of damage to the punch. Some of the earlier punches lasted longer as fewer dies were used. But it would be hard to image each punch as the damage increases with use. Report this Post to the Staff
