CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:19 am I referenced VV http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...0SRPM003.htm same mintmark position with same southeast running die scratches on the bottom of the 1.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7059 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:20 am Your 4th photo does show the raised mark under the center curve of the S, however to my eyes your mint mark looks to be slightly more east of the one shown on Varietyvista. Lets see if someone can triangulate and compare the two...good luck Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:57 am I agree with the mint mark position NOT being correct for 003. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 11:18 am It does not look like an RPM, center of the S is reflecting some of the numerous die scratches of the coin like those in the field between the 1 and 9 of date.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 2:13 pm All the activity in the lower loop is not the RPM. It is a tilted RPM. I'm not seeing a tilted on Variety Vista's coin either. No listing on coppercoins or Wexler that matches this die. On the Variety vista image is on the center upper loop, it looks like a distortion of the 'S' line that doesn't match up. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...0SRPM003.htm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:06 pm Thanks for the opinions. I am still confused though. The VV RPM-003 is described as a "S/S Tilted". So are tilted MM's the same as RPM's? I agree that this MM is slightly east of the VV example. The S on my coin took a hit in the middle to upper loop and it seems possible if it wasn't for that it would look identical to the S on VV RPM-003.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7059 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:21 pm S/S tilted means the mint mark on the bottom (first one struck on the die) is tilted or lets say rotated slightly as compared to the top one. Check out VarietyVista for the 1960D RPM-001, that one shows "explains" the positioning of a West rpm as compared to a tilted. Hope this helped you out....good luck Report this Post to the Staff
