coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 5:47 pm That one is not a RPM. It is from a damaged punch used that year. You can see this on several denominations and a very large number of cents dies are affected by this issue. When this happens on several dies, we know it is not a RPM, but mintmark punch damage. So no premium. There are RPM cents though that year but not on the lower serif: Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter17 Pillar of the Community United States 1008 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 5:53 pm Didn't know about this damage on '79 cents. Now I know. Thanks Coop! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 5:55 pm The cents were the ones known. I gave a look at several coins and determined it was not just on the cents. Report this Post to the Staff
examiner Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 6:02 pm @ COOP- Thanks for the detailed explanation. I compared it to the photos of RPMs on Coppercoins, but could not match it exactly. Question: is it possible that CC has it wrong on their listing? They have split lower serif Ds as RPMs. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 6:54 pm Well they are not RPMs. Only the ones listed on their site are RPMs. They are just a damaged punch issue that was used on perhaps hundreds of dies. Making them all common. No premium. Report this Post to the Staff
