tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 9:11 pm Been clearing up a lot of RPMs and other minor whatnots the last couple days. I set this one aside to look at later, which is now. Pretty hard RPM to place, but I am semi-confident that it is 1MM-028. Didn't do one of those fancy pants line drawings but to me that's what it looks like. So here is what I was looking at, note the split serifs visible top right and bottom left. Then, trying to get a better angle I actually lost the split serifs but noticed something on the top left. Seemed reasonable to just spin it upside down and the lighting shows, what certainly looks like, a third S to the northeast. So just musing here that there might be another fairly wide S in there although possibly only visible on an early die state coin. Comments welcome. Oh yeah, and here is the coin and the couple light die markers I could find, note the inside of the R in LIBERTY. Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8939 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 10:21 pm I agree with you TB, by the viewability of the third S I think it is an S/S/Tilted S Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 10:31 pm Looks like S/S West and possible S/S/S? I don't see a match. 028 on CCs,is farther north than your coin. But none show the NW like your coin. You might see if James Wiles Would be interested in listing it. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 06:47 am Nice pickup and Congrats. Nice images as always. I could easily be wrong but that "third" MM, to the NW, looks too tight a radius to be a 3rd MM. It seems to match the interior of the loop, not the center line of the MM. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
