CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 9:39 pm What would cause the slope on the west side of this mintmark? Does being a minor split-serif rpm have anything to do with it? I have several of these so it is not an isolated incident [i.e. damage]. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 9:41 pm Well this one is a minor RPM. They are hard to match up. I keep hoping that John Wexler can get all his files on line. So I save all the minor ones into tubes to match up with the ones I can't find a match for. Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 02:13 am Thanks for the reply, but I'm not really asking about the RPM [it is far too minor]. I am interested in understanding the reason this MMS-6 mint mark has a long slope on the west side [black arrows]. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...20Styles.htm Edited by CentSation 05/30/2021 02:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
