desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 02:19 am I found this Lincoln sitting in my collection and I had never noticed the mintmark, but as I was checking for any problems, it jumped out. I couldn't find a match on Coppercoins or in CPG. Any ID, or is it a die blob Thanks Jim Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 06:17 am I don't think it is a RPM. The reason being that it doesn't have an spread/separation between punchings. The marks on the inside are parts of a damaged punched that made the mint mark. It happens some years. Here are a few examples of spread between punchings to watch for: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...-1MM-002.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s1mm007l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s1mm006m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s1mm010m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...1mm_002m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s1mm004m.jpg Here is an example that is a RPM but has the similar marking on the inside. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1MM_001.jpg But note that the RPM is not located in that area, but to the West. The marks on the inside of you mint mark are not a specific shape, but just parts of a punched damaged from use. If you had a roll from that run you would not the same thing on different coins from different dies during that punches time of being used. It happens. Report this Post to the Staff

desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 4:21 pm Thanks to all of you! The answers don't surprise me, I was rather suspecting such. I looked at the underlying and couldn't imagine another "S" or even a "D" underneath. But I had already taken the photo, so thought I would throw it up . Thanks again, great resources!
