1974 S Lincoln 1c RPM

I did not send you that link but looked it over. You are talking about a different denomination, different punches and 9 years between the article you are referring to and the one I sent you.

I didn't actually know that, Coop, thanks. My only reference to this and that I was aware of, was the cent. The timeframe between publications was my point though, we learn new things over time.

Alright, Coop, one last time and I'll quit beating this dead horse. Just got home and had time to look at everything.


Link for Lincoln mm styles, scroll down to MMS-009, shows same as MMS-004 punch, due to new research.http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20L...20Styles.htm

Link for Roosevelt dime mm styles, scroll down to MMS-005, shows same as MMS-002 punch, due to new research.http://www.varietyvista.com/07%20Ro...20Styles.htm

The same shows for quarters and halves, as you pointed out, they used the same punches between denominations.

This was what I was referring to with the OP's mm, that most of what he was seeing as an RPM, came from this overused punch and of course the hit you mentioned it took in the upper serif.
