Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 09:37 am @chgk1328, any chance of getting a close-up pic that is less pixellated? Right now, I can't tell if it is an RPM or just damage.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 1:11 pm More of an issue with the zinc plating peeling off the coin. (Or steel plating if reprocessed) Just not a pretty sight. Report this Post to the Staff
chgk1328 Valued Member 142 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 05:55 am Thank you! Guys,I did my best to shot three of the close-ups. I hope this time the mint mark will be better and clearer.It seems to be a "rotated S" re-punched in a letter that looks like "D". Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 10:20 am Keep in mind this they used steel dies and steel planchets. So the dies broke down faster. In the die that struck your coin, a vertical die crack started on the 'S' mint mark. If it had been punched into the die area, it probably would not have widened.there are examples from other years where this ha happened, but none for this year. http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...intmarks.htm S over D OMM (Over-Mint-Mark) Edited by coop 05/22/2018 12:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chgk1328 Valued Member 142 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 09:15 am After clean up the rust and dust of 1943S black steel cent, I have found that Mintmark S is the variety of S/S RPM. In my opinion is probably the 1943-S RPM-004, and in here I post another three new pics. Report this Post to the Staff
