Curveball Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 3:27 pm I completely agree also put what made me have second thoughts was how close the images from vv match is there any sure fire way to determining rpms like die marked on DDO &dde like I said new to rpms any help would be appreciated I dont really care if it's an rpm or not. I'm trying to learn them. Will they resemble hub machine or do rpms exhibit some different type.the 3 on the date looks the the vv pic I highlighted the mint mark and it's close maybe not a rpm.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 7:18 pm With both areas affected, (date and mintmark) it is Machine Doubling. Not a RPM. A RPM would be raised, not flattened. (In most cases, as the punch would make an incuse mark in the die leaving a raised area on the coins. But some RPM were not the last punch and can be weaker. But where the date and mintmarks are affected the same it is Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 7:25 pm Quote: does anyone have any pointers as to what to look for on rpms 1. Find a potential RPM first. 2. When comparing to known varieties, Recognizing the type of RPM is helpful. Is it tilted, rotated etc, etc. 3. Comparing location is next. It will help make or break a match to known examples. 4. Markers can aid as well. Pending die state, the same markers may or may not be present. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/13/2020 7:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
