Is this an "s over d" mint mark? Is it an rpm? Or is it something else? Edited by Cuzimcute00 07/25/2018 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 12:55 am To me, it looks like either a die chip in the lower loop of the S, or a hit has smashed it and moved a little metal upward.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 3:17 pm Not a broken die post. (these only happen on insides Like B, R, 4, O, 0, 8, P,Q, D, 6, 9 (Closed 9). Not an over mint mark. It is from a damaged punch that is used to hammer into the completed dies. The dies being tempered, caused the mint mark punch to be damage after being hammered into so many dies. Happens a lot on several dies. Even RPM images on the sites will show MMP damage, but that is not part of the RPM. It if were almost all coins would be RPM pre 1989. Report this Post to the Staff
