merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 08:19 am Possible RPM on both sides? Do you even know what a RPM is? I agree with John1, DDD. Not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 08:34 am Well this not any of the what you put in your poll questions. (why did you even do a poll? Well you are new so I can ignore that part.. so Your nickel is showing extreme signs of die wear. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 08:36 am oh yeah - an RPM is a "Re-Punched Mint mark which can only happen on the mint mart of a coin - so it would never be on both sides.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 10:07 am @carr, first welcome to CCF. I'm glad you found us and hope that we can help you understand what you are seeing with your coins. Second, yes I agree that a poll isn't really needed here so I will remove that aspect of your thread. Don't stress about it though—it is a somewhat common mistake and is easily fixed. Added: good point about your pictures. These close-ups, while not perfect, are well above average for a first post. Well done.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 11:01 am Extreme die wear is present. Also Machine Doubling on the devices. (Not DDD as the affected area is not in the direction of the rim.) No RPMs after 1990. So this is not a variety coin of either a DDO / DDR. Just a worn out die example with Machine Doubling on some of the devices. Edited by coop 06/29/2022 11:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
