GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 10:30 pm While looking through some steelies this stood out to me. Looked through VV and Wexler's and couldn't find this RPM. Looks a bit similar to RPM-05 but not very close. It's got die polishing marks over the RPM but is visible as a secondary S on the West of the S. Look for additional serrifs and secondary right bound. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 10:41 pm I'm not seeing a RPM, I don't see anything that looks like a part of another mintmark. You might be seeing Die Deterioration Doubling since it does appear to be a late die state coin. I agree with luvmyCAM that a closer image of the mintmark may show what you're seeing better.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 12:05 am Note the direction. It is in the direction of die wear and die flow. Not a RPM. When the die was new, it was a normal die. Now it is showing its age. (The steel cents wore the steel dies a lot faster) Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 12:59 am I believe what you are seeing is Die Deterioration. There also appears to be a Grease Fill on the 4.
