sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 10:48 am Found another minor RPM. Looks like there is a Stage B die marker not noted on Variety Vista - a die gouge right next to the mint mark. Both the mint mark and the die gouge match exactly with the VV photos when I overlay them. http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...2DRPM003.htm Report this Post to the Staff

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 12:10 pm Congrats, not always easy to ID on worn coins. 1952 is the only year [with LWCs] where an odd "scissor-effect" was (consistently) created on the split serif: Always wondered why they used that style [MMS-4] for only one year. edit: though I believe there are some broken MMs that year, too Edited by CentSation 01/09/2022 12:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 3:30 pm Nice spot on the marker that that die number. If the coin didn't have the marker, it would still be that die number. The die scratch could have been there before before and faded on the die, or happened before the die scratch. Marker confirms, but not always present on the die. It confirms die state.
