This is one of eight RPM's or at least I think its an RPM that came from the same roll, the 1MM-037 was one of the eight and there are five like this one I'll post photo's of the key points of this coin, the obverse the first is the DD East second is a die scratch from chest to one third is a die scratch near mouth fourth die scratches near forhead      and I've only have time for one photo of the reverse as I have to take the kid to school more when I return  more when I return |

I'm not able to narrow this down to a single die without seeing the coin itself. It's one of those types that are similar to nearly two dozen different dies and attributing them becomes a real pain in the butt, especially without the coin.
It could possibly be one I have not yet photographed for coppercoins.com

G'Day coppercoins,I have 5 of these and the all vary in one detail or another,3 of them have the tail on the right leg of the last A in AMERICA also the polish line out from the lips and 5 of them have the die gouge at the bottom right of U in UNITED so as you can see there is a variety from the same die regards Harry

While it is possible they all came from the same die, especially if from a single original roll, I would propose that it is much more likely that if the attributes and markers vary from coin to coin that you have different dies. It is not likely in a jumbled group of BU coins from the same date and mint (read: not all from the same BU source) to receive a number of coins all from differing die states and all from the same die.
One thing I can offer is to check especially for exact mintmark placement. If the mintmark is in differing positions with relation to the date from coin to coin, you definitely have different dies.

I was looking at this and wondered if it was 1960D-1MM-025. I wasn't sure of the location. If you could back off the image a ways and include the full date, that might help. There is also a die crack on the reverse. The shape of the RPM looked a bit different. http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mdsThe East looked similar in the spread, but the mint mark had a Northeast mark on it that looked different. Check for the markers on this one, but it maybe another one. I couldn't match it to any other. |

Yes  that's why I posted the amount of photo's of the key points to try to pin it down,I'll post the rest of the MM east but only the DD otherwise I'll be here till the cows come home,there are eight coins the one in this thread is coin number eight the other thread with the 1MM-037 was coin number two so I'll post 1,3,4,5,6 and 7 and see what you think       well that them coppercoins and if you want more details of a coin I'll post it and its not a problem mate thanks and regards Harry |

Harry: I made an overlay with the first set of images and it matches location for the 1960D-1MM-025. Even the location of the Bar of the mint mark off center.  There is a difference in shape of the RPM but die wear can change the shape some. The image on the right is one of yours. The second image is off the site edited. The third image is the overlay. I suspect that you coin is an earlier die state than mine and you may not have the same markers, but some may match. Check the site and see if you find any from those images. Hope this helps. |

Six coins posted together in a post above...
The first coin is of one die.
The second coin is of a different die.
Coins three, four, five, and six are all of the same die, but they do not match one or two.
I would have to try matching them to specific dies from home at a later time.
You have three different dies represented there.
