This one similar to Coppercoins # -015. This one maybe mechanical (also?)
Reverse has small die crack in lower part of right wheat.

Opinions please and thank you.

Mint mark is to close for #15. More like #14.

I agree. The mintmark location for 015 is all wrong. But it is a match to 1954S-1MM-014.
(Location first for matches)
Also V.V RPM-014

. Yes you're both right and (dah me) I even checked on that. #14 did line up. Then my little mind went to description of the serifs. Which #15 matched.
So now what happens?

Need some teaching here. So if the MM lines up with date but the MM it's self doesn't match the serifs, double on curves or splits. This is a wonder for Ds and Ss MM? What would it be categorized as?

Thanks for putting up with me and my questions.

That is because your coin is also suffering from Machine Doubling. Forget what the tops of the date and MM look like, then you have a coin that was from the same die as the ones listed, but also has Machine Doubling.

Sounds good. Yes both have Machine Doubling. MM is S/S also.

Thanks again coop. Thanks for the learning.
