zaphod4242 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 12:45 pm Could this be an RPM? The Stage A 1952-D RPM-010 on VarietyVista looks close except the mintmark on this one has been flattened surely post-mint. Sure looks like an underlying serif. Thanks! And we really appreciate all the supportive help from this community! Can't thank you all enough! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 12:57 pm Looks pretty close to me @zaphod, but I'm interested to hear others' thoughts too. It is odd that the varietyvista example doesn't have much evidence of the underlying mintmark at the top like your seems to: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
zaphod4242 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 1:09 pm I agree, and could not find anything that matched perfectly online which kinda makes me think it may not be anything. Maybe some tricky MD? I've been fooled before :) Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 3:05 pm I think you may have it right. You are comparing the MM from stage A but if you check the MM for stage B you can see a hint of the top serif. Often RPMs change over the stages then you have to factor in circulation wear.

zaphod4242 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 3:13 pm There also appears to be a die scratch behind the collar, just as show on the Stage B photos. The "T" doesn't appear to have any die chips at the location shown, but it's a very worn coin. Good feedback, thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 5:43 pm The location looks correct: http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...2DRPM010.htm The die chips appear with time. It could have been a coin struck between the Stage 'A and B'? Report this Post to the Staff
zaphod4242 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 8:26 pm Thrilled that this doesn't come back as MD! :) Seems like most of what seems like something special is either MD or PMD. Thank you all for your input! Report this Post to the Staff
