allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 04/27/2022 5:10 pm Hello everyone, found a circulated 1960 D nickel while not as bright as the 1964 D of last week but interesting anyway. The Mint Mark appears to be doubled but I could find no reference to verify. I also scanned the obverse and the reverse looking for DDO'S and DDR'S, but it is not as easy as pennies. The Variety Vista site has some close script characters, but the thickness appears off. Script is clear on my pics but no exact match. Look at the pictures and let me know your thoughts. Still an interesting survivor worthy of a flip. Regards! Report this Post to the Staff

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 11:31 am Ok, what I was going for was the fact you have a nickel which survived circulation looking as good as it does. The small die chips I did see but I thought it was a candidate for an RPM. It seemed there was a second mint mark under the primary one. I placed it in a flip anyway. Regards.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 11:40 am If that is in incuse mark on the mintmark, it maybe just damage on the mintmark, not a RPM. Try making an image with a normal mintmark side by side with this mintmark. If the mintmark is enlarged, it might be a minor RPM that is not listed. If the mintmarks are the same size, it maybe just a contact mark on a normal mintmark. Then compare it with other RPM sizes. Then you can see if it is/is not an example. That would be the best way to tell. I agree about the zero, being a die chip. It is not to the stage yet were is could be a Cud. There would need to be a rim to rim crack first to show that the die is starting to break down. If it were advancing, it would be taller than the rim/design. Its not at this point. Not the fields on the coin are showing a lot of die flow. So the die is aging so far with that chip starting to show. Report this Post to the Staff

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 7:12 pm So a RPM is definitely ruled out here? Chips for sure. But no chance for RPM? Please elaborate why not. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 8:12 pm A RPM will be wider/taller from the die being punched a second time: http://varietyvista.com/05%20JN%20R...0DRPM001.htm Note on V.V nickel listing. On one. It is a tilted RPM. But note the second punching enlarged the size of the mintmark Report this Post to the Staff
