Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7027 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 11:30 am I believe I see machine double on the east side of the 9, therefore I'm leaning towards MD on mint mark...If not,check VV rpm-002 only one close with position of mint mark...good luck Report this Post to the Staff

Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 8:04 pm It's not plated it came out of a BU roll, I'm just a terrible photographer..lol Here are clearer pics in proper light.I also straighten to pic showing the mint mark in comparison to RPM 001... you can see my lighting is coming from the wrong direction so I'll retake that photo Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 08:27 am There is a fair amount of Machine Doubling going on here. At 10 o'clock on the inside curve of the 9 and the 0 , as well as the MM. Could all this have covered up the rpm ? Probably not . There is a northeast direction to the secondary MM of rpm#1 that isn't evident in the OP's photos Edited by stoneman227 08/29/2019 08:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
