*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***It looks like mint mark punched twice. What do you all think? Thanks!

It is an RPM, look like WRPM-012. Nice find!

I don't know exactly the procedure used when they mint a coin. How is it possible for the mint mark only to strike twice. Is the Mint Mark pressed separate from the main coin and date ?

They used to be separate but now done together. I am not sure of exact time it switched.

The mint mark is added to the die by hand with a punch for each mint mark.

Coop, I believe you are right. I see the die scratches from the forehead going northeast. Right?  |
