levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 8:30 pm Not the FS-508. Placement of the Primary MM is to far away from the date. NOTE: I am 6 for about 28 for identifying RPMs; especially when not in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 10:44 pm Finding these is easiest if you sort of memorize the mint mark position. It's pretty high up there and pretty much in the middle between the 9 and 5. Then look for the shadow D. On Coop's example it's obvious, but on later die stages it can be more tricky. Here is one I found last night. Note that if you are too close to your computer screen it will be hard to see, but if you back up four or five feet the D is obvious. Just one of those easier to see with less magnification rather than more. Report this Post to the Staff
