SuperSteveFly New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 09:30 am I was curious about the "extra metal" also. Not sure if it may be a die chip, or some weird RPM. Seems like there is too much thickness and the area is raised not flattened. Can't find another example yet Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 09:51 am @ssf, to me this looks like a combination of circulation flattening plus the use of a slightly worn punch to add the mm to the die. Alternatively, the mm punch might not have been perfectly perpendicular to the die. Either way it seems pretty minor, but could be worth saving if you want an exemplar.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 11:45 am Keep in mind that the mintmark are punched in with a punch: These can vary is shape. Taller if the punch is driven deeper. Wider if two punching were not exact. When you see evidence of two punching happening, then you have a RPM. This one is not a RPM as you can see two different punching of the punch. Just a different looking mintmark from slight differences of the punched mintmarks. RPM: Directions: Examples: CoopHome: What causes different shaped mintmarks and how is a RPM different? Report this Post to the Staff
