coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 7:08 pm The inside part of the lines at an angle is not a RPM. It is a damaged mintmark punch issue. Not a RPM. Note on the RPM-009 description: http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...1SRPM009.htm Note it is a S/S/S (They only put two 'S's on their site. It is called a North and a South. A RPM on the top of the loop and a mark below the lower loop on the outside field. The area inside of the mintmark with the angled lines is not part of the RPM. It is from a damaged punch issue which indicates it is not part of the RPM. Although Coppercoins doesn't have an image note their listing information: Quote: 1951S-1MM-009 \| S/S/S NORTH & SOUTH CONECA: RPM-009, Wexler: WRPM-008 Lightly punched extra curves and serifs show above and beneath the primary mintmark on this die.

CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 7:28 pm gotcha coop thanks, so would you agree that its a RPM-010? Edited by CoinTheTerm 09/30/2019 7:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 7:41 pm Note the location of the mintmark on the RPM-010 They are not a match for locations so it is not from that die. 010 is an East RPM. Your coin is not showing the East. Is is just a die that was punched with a damaged punch. When you look at the PCGS coin facts page, a lot of dies were punched with this damage punch: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/2794 https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/2793 So it is common.If you looked on other denominations that year, you would probably find the same damaged punch issue on those coins as well.
