mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 11/22/2008 03:09 am I'm not sure if this is an rpm? Looks like one, but I've been wrong before. I don't see it listed in Coppercoins. Any opinions. 1968 D Lincoln http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...cents-12.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...ents-6-3.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...ents-3-3.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...ents-5-3.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...ents-4-3.jpg Thanks, Mike Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 11/22/2008 08:09 am Hard to see, but I believe that the MM was hit and 'moved' to the right. Hit, for example by a coin counting machine. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/22/2008 10:04 am Counting machines cause damage to the coin to include the fields, they don't scoot letters around. The die itself has to do that, and we call it Machine Doubling...that's what this is. Report this Post to the Staff

tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 11/22/2008 11:12 am With this one I would look carefully for notching at the corners of the "D". I don't see any and would agree that this is machine caused rather than a RPM. Hope this helps. I've recently started searching for RPM's, so I'm far from an expert and very open to anyone helping with information. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2008 09:56 am That is just part of a die clash that was not removed/polished off. Sometimes they get ignored and continue to be struck with coins with that clash. That line is formed by the roof during a clash. Report this Post to the Staff
