Please let me know what you think- Thanks- First two pictures are of the one without doubling and the next two are of the one with doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 11:00 pm This looks like a damaged punch issue. Note on the Variety vista Site, there is one that looks like yours (007) (But the location of the mint marks are different. But note the description: http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...8SRPM007.htm Comments: S/S South. MMS-002 (Trumpet Tail). Note it mentions South? That is the only area that is the RPM. The rest is mint mark punch damage. RPM page for 1948-S: http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...%201948S.htm Note most of the RPMs on that page is mostly south RPMs. A lot of them show the same puncheon damage, but that is not the RPM. Only the areas with the direction are the RPMs area only. Edited by coop 03/15/2019 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 11:32 pm OK. I take it that both are S/S so I now can go to Variety Vista. Because of the die scratch locations, I believe that the first one is a Type 8. Here is a pic of the obverse and reverse. It is a scan. I will now check on the second one- Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 11:48 pm You have to enlarge the mint mark area to see if there is a south on the lower and upper curve on your coin. The location looks close, but without the RPM, it would not be a RPM. Just can see close enough yet. http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...8SRPM008.htm They both look like they are from the same die. Note the die scratches on the 'V' on Five on both coins. They are a match to each other, because they were struck with the same die. (they each have the same markers if both images are of different coins) Edited by coop 03/15/2019 11:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
