That RPM did a weird thing. Die wear increased the size of the RPM.

Thank you Jim and Coop! Coop, that's pretty weird! So is this RPM more desirable in this die state, do to the RPM getting stronger in later stages?

It's not that the RPM is getting stronger because of die flow. The angle is just in the die flow direction. It sometimes enhances it more or makes nothing look like a mint mark, when on the fresh die, nothing was there.

Example:  For years this coin was listed as a D/S mint mark. But a few years back, someone had an earlier die state coin, with out the affected area. They determined it to be a die flow issue perhaps on a rough part of the die. When the die aged, it enhanced what wasn't there from the beginning. So the listing was debunked. (People who bought these, now have a debunked variety now worth, one cent) Note how the die flow created this? All the marks are in the same direction.

Oh yeah Coop! I remember that one. I can see the die flow flowing where the so-called "S" is. That debunked variety would make a great educational thread.
