I am getting better on the photos, but the shaking Following are photos of a 1928S I first thought were RPM#1, but I would like your opinions. I am concerned with the 8 showing a flat area to NE that looks like Machine Doubling. Though the photos don't show as well there are three distinct S to the N, but they are rather flat. Thanks for your help. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/...itts/005.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/...itts/007.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/...itts/008.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 2:15 pm I think your photos provide a good clue as to cause, as the mint mark was added after the die was hubbed. So...if both the date and mint marked have "doubling" in the same direction, that suggests....? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 3:23 pm This is Machine Doubling. The first clue that this s not RPM-001 is that RPM-001 is a large mintmark. Yours is a small mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff

tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 5:21 pm Just to show everyone what is meant by large and small mintmarks for 1928, I have added a couple of photos. The first is the small mint mark (MMS-02) and the second is the large mintmark (MMS-03). http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/...itts/009.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/...itts/010.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/22/2008 09:03 am Yup, first photo is a small mintmark. Second photo is a large mintmark. (this would be for people who don't already know the difference.) Report this Post to the Staff
