Treasureman New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 2:06 pm Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this steel cent. The S mintmark appears as if something is under it.... or perhaps it is just a strike error. Any help appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 2:18 pm Hmmmm, not sure. I'm thinking some type of hit PMD. Or maybe some type of struck through. The 4 looks flattened or hit with something as well. Besides that, a nice looking coin! ! Others will chime in here... Great pictures BTW!!

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 4:32 pm Very Nice Coin! Pics are terrific! What do you use to take pics? Hard to tell if it is a RPM...I am new and have a hard time identifying RPM varieties. But... Lots of the Die cracks are lining up with Variety Vista RPM-007. Tell me what you think? EDIT::: maybe one of the pros will take a second look at it and RPM-007 VV. But without that "S", does it matter? Edited by levelsofmadnes 03/08/2019 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Treasureman New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 5:47 pm I use a Canon T2i and a 100m Macro Canon Lens on a tri pod. I have a single $25 LED light I bought on Amazon. It always works great on coins. The most expensive part of my setup is the lens. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 6:17 pm Must be some correlation between the flatened 4, the funky MM and the two disturbed areas beneath the 9 and the 4. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 7:19 pm Not a RPM. Looks like part of a grease issue, the gunk mixed into it. Note the SW area on the shoulder. Looks like something was pushed in that direction. But the reverse die is nice EDS die. Obverse is a LMDS (Late-Mid-Die-State) Report this Post to the Staff
