bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 5:25 pm There is some damage to the mint mark but it still looks like a RPM to me. Lets see what the experts have to say....I think you've got a keeper Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 6:12 pm Not an expert, but it looks more like it took a hit. Note on what looks to be a smaller MM on top of a larger one has no serifs. On the close up showing the date you can see some serious damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 6:13 pm I'm thinking damage. If it were a RPM, you would see the same West mark on the inside of the mint mark. The images below show that the punching can in some cases affect the overall view of the mint mark. I'm not saying that this coin is any of these, but examples of what to look for when searching for RPMs. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm001m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm015m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...MM_003RL.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm005l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...3D1MM001.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1MM_001.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm016l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1MM_008.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 6:40 pm Hi, There is too much damage on the D for me to be 100% certain. I want to wait for coppercoins thoughts on this one. My gut says no, it's just a hit. I guess I'm feeling a little uncommitted today:-) Maybe I should be committed..... Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 11:17 pm Coop; Great info and pictures- If it is "anything", it looks like its the closest to this one. Image: 1960D_1MM_003RL.jpg 96.92 KB Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 11:44 pm Hi Chuckster, not to be a pain but...closer and blurry does not allow me to get a good view of the D. If you can get close and clear:-) I might be able to help. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 07/08/2008 11:49 pm I'm trying Bill- but everytime I crop the pic to make it closer, it goes blurry on me. I'll give it another try. Chuck. Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 06:14 am Chuck, pics are getting better, now try giving up a little size for clarity. Still hanging with the hit option. Include the date if you can. That could tell us alot. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 10:20 am Chuck: I think you missed the point of the images. To show that if one part of the RPM is affected, the other area also should be affected. As in the image you thought was similar: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...MM_003RL.jpg You will note the mark on the West side of the mint mark, but note the mark on the inside loop of the D on the right side of the mint mark. That is where your coin doesn't exhibit that mark as a true RPM should if it was punched. It still looks more like a bag mark to the west edge of the mint mark. Take another look.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/10/2008 2:02 pm 1. the coin is too low grade to be worth much even as an RPM. There does become a limit to the amount of time that should be spent on a coin with regard to its value outcome even if it turns out to be a die variety. 2. This coin shows some promise as an RPM, but other signs point to it being nothing more than a hit. Inconclusive is as much as you can get from anyone without being able to examine the coin under a microscope. It simply cannot be determined by images alone. 3. Given that the mintmark is strongly doubled on the outside but none at all on the inside, I point toward damage. 4. However...because the date shows no like damage, it could be an RPM. So that's where anyone who knows what they are doing would stand on this...which is in concurrence with many of the statements above. Basically means that I agree with Bill and Coop on this. Too low grade, too much damage, and too much dirt to tell for sure without seeing the coin in person. Report this Post to the Staff
