Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 07/18/2019 7:28 pm Was CRH this morning from some old rolls I have. Opened up a roll of 1946 D LWC and I found 8 RPM's Five of then are the SAME as the pic. I have a Question, If they are hand punched how is it posable to have many of the same RPM ? Anyone and Thanks for you help. Could it be a Damaged punch? Report this Post to the Staff

Just to be clear, the mintmarks were applied by hand to the dies. Those dies struck a whole bunch of coins. If the dies had an RPM, then the resulting coins also did. It is not the case that there was some dude adding mintmarks by hand to all of the individual coins.

Looks similar to this one on Wexler's site~~ Quote: 1946-D 1¢ WRPM-061 Description: D/D Tilted (Rotated) Die Markers: Obverse: Die gouge seen at the upper brow running SE through the back of the nostril ending at the edge of the bottom of the beard in the field. Reverse: Die gouge at the lower inside of the E of ONE running SE ending at the inside bottom edge of the arm. Die gouge next to the left side of the diagonal leg of the N of ONE running SE. ~~http://doubleddie.com/1200240.html~~ Note a match: Edited by coop 07/18/2019 10:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
