ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 07:38 am I see a D mint mark suffering from a circulation hit (or two). Being a relatively soft metal, copper can be easily reshaped when hit. Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 10:31 am I cNurman see where the MM looks like an RPM that could be D/S or D/D with the top D at an angle to the right. I looked at my standard places like Variety Vista, Lincoln Cent Resource, Variety Plus and did not see any RPMs listed for 1979. Would someone at CONECA look at the photos and give an opinion? Doesn't ANACs do this sort of opinion for a much smaller fee than PCGS or NGC? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 11:20 am CCs' site has 3 RPM's listed. Those who know the minting process know it can not be a OMM. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 12:27 pm Keep in mind, that a glancing blow leaves in incuse damage mark. A RPM would be raised not incuse: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Splits will be incuse, but a RPM would be raised. CoopHome : RPMs will be raised on the mintmark/field areas. Only splits will be incuse areas Report this Post to the Staff
