ledzep Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 01:10 am i think it is a D/D but was hesitant because of the shelf like appearance and that I didn't see it on Lincolncentsonline....please look at the tilt of the D to the west, I don't think it mimics the outline of the main D, or does it?, or am I seeing things and wishing it's a D/D Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 01:38 am It looks like the RPM-001, mint mark is in the correct position. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 04:39 am Agreed, It is a RPM=re-punched mint mark not a DD=doubled die or a MD=machine doubled. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 06:53 am Nice find. You can't have a DD on a 1953 mm. As explained it is a Repunched mm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19205 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 07:04 am Very cool! If not too late, would like to see full and sharp photos of the coin's obverse and reverse. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8785 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 07:30 am Very nice fin, ledzep! As Chase007 said, RPM-001. Looks to be a late die stage to, there is no "PRESENCE" of the re-punching inside the mm anymore. Scroll down to Stage D and E and you will see it looks like yours.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 08:36 am So why is this not Machine Doubling? Note the width of the vertical bar. The width is wider than a normal mintmark. This is evidence of a RPM. A second punching that makes this a RPM. Edited by coop 09/24/2021 08:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
