Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 09:53 am @cook, for sure an RPM. As to -12 or -13, have you looked for the presence of die gouges to match up? The two mintmark positions could be used to make a differential diagnosis, but they seem pretty close to the same position to my eyes so that is why I was thinking you might try to chase down the die gouges.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 3:49 pm Yes definitely a DDO. Good eye. I just recently sold a roll of 1957 D broken post B's and minor die chips. Did I miss it, or ... Edit: yes my mistake. I meant definitely a RPM. Edited by sheldius 02/12/2022 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 5:41 pm If you orient your date/mm pic, in the same way the site you are using to attribute it, you will find it much easier and quicker to find a match. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 08:39 am Quote: some times I have to ask. thats how we learn. And you should ask. That is why I mentioned this, it will help you in the future. If you notice, when looking at the listings, the pics they have of the date-mint mark, are usually oriented in a similar fashion. If your date-mint mark is at the same orientation, it makes it much easier to compare. Notice how I turned your pic to be in the same manor as VV's? It just helps to eliminate several listings very quickly and narrow it down faster. The quicker you can attribute a coin, the quicker you can get back to hunting. Sometimes it's good to ask for help though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
