mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 8:01 pm I checked NGC Variety Vista and ruled out the S/S versions of FS-101, VP-002 & VP-003 which left me with only the 1942 S/S/S FS-512 1C which has no photos anywhere on the Internet. Here is only my mm for now. Unless absolutely needed I'll hold off on full obv and rev shots since it's in a slab difficult to photograph etc. https://www.NGCcoin.com/variety-plu...1958/818791/ What variety do I have?

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 09:13 am After looking at the RPM-008 from Variety Vista it looks like my mm but mine does not have any major object(s) west of itself. In fact, the portion I encircled in green on Variety Vista's example is not present at all on mine. There is a very, very thin hairline scratch in the position and length represented by the thicker red line I drew. My red line's thickness relatively speaking is about 200% thicker compared to what I can physically see under the slab. I cannot photograph it with any meaningful shots because of the distortion from the plastic slab... How would that change the call from an RPM-008 if at all. Please elaborate.? After further review I would disregard the HA photo I initially posted. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:02 am RPM-008 is a S/S/S because of the obvious extra punch to the south and the separation line on the upper left curve indicating a third punch. (The third punch is not too obvious). The small lines to the left of the mintmark you circled in that image are just small die scratches. They can be easily be removed from the die and they likely do not exist on all die states. Your coin could either be an earlier die state where the die scratch did not form yet or a later die state where the die scratch was either removed or obscured by light Die Deterioration.
