levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 1:39 pm looks like RPM-004 to me. http://varietyvista.com/02b%20LC%20...3DRPM004.htm position looks good and die crack on head looks to be a match. on a nice looking coin too. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 5:14 pm I agree looks exactly like RPM 4 from VV. Use the link above to verify markers and dis states by matching some of the examples on VV Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 5:28 pm Check the die markers on these listings: http://varietyvista.com/02b%20LC%20...3DRPM004.htm To see which die stage/state your coin is. The listing is on the lower part of the page: Quote: Die Stage and Markers Chart Die Stages and Markers: UVC-877 DMR-005 Stage A: Obverse and Reverse are EDS Stage B: Obverse is MDS Depression on column #12 - EMDS Stage C: Light die crack on forehead - LMDS Die chip on column #12 - LMDS Stage D: Stronger die crack on forehead - LDS Larger die chip on column #12 - LDS Stage E: Die chip in hair - VLDS Die break full length of column #12 - LMDS UVC-878 DMR-006 Stage F: Obverse is VLDS Reverse die changed - MDS That way you can learn to determine what die stage it is.

I have been trying to do that for awhile. I search for the die markers for several minutes. Some die markers are easy to find along with the stage (I guess that's where I am at in the process). Determining EDS ,MDS, and LDS I am still in the kindergarten stage? I try to see how close the lettering is to the rim and the metal flow. Still to many questions in my head about that. Someone out there may have a trick they use and can pass it along.. Things like a die crack disappearing in a later stage has me baffled. Seems like it should be the other way around. Sometimes the crack gets bigger other times it doesn't! Searching OBW rolls I may be finding an earlier stage not pictured. Just don't know.? Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 07/09/2022 09:33 am "Things like a die crack disappearing.. " That would only happen if they swap the die on the opposite side. Don't forget, there are two different dies making each coin and they don't have to be at the same stage/state. At the bottom of the page VV tells you at what stage the dies were swapped. One variety [don't remember which now] uses the same reverse at stages a & c, but has a different one for stage b. If you take a look at the 1911D RPM-5 [I believe] you will see a die crack at the base of the left wheat on the last two stages. The pics appear to show the same crack, but they are not the same and if you look closely you will notice they are similar but different.
