Dearborn Moderator United States 96598 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 7:48 pm I see a split serif at the top left of the MM Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 7:56 pm Looks like a match. Check to see if the marker is present? If not, then it might be a different die number. But looks real close. Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 11:54 am Thanks everyone for looking and thought's. I saw VarietyVista # RPM-011. At first I thought it's the same but of course with coin in hand they looked a little different No markers match. No crack on Forehead. No Chips on T-CENT. Mine looks a little more south than VV's I'm curious about the marks inside and SE of the MM. ( black arrows) I'm not sure if I've lined up the MM with the date correctly. ( yellow arrows) I did this on my phone. Maybe it's right maybe not. Edited by RobO411 08/04/2022 8:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 12:13 pm Nice RPM. Congrats. I've always thought slight incuse areas around the MM (SE of the MM on your variety) were displaced metal from applying the MM punch to the die (and before the metal was polished away). (I've never heard anyone mention it before but have noticed them.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 4:42 pm Thanks everyone. Can you tell by looking at the lines I put on VarietyVista's coin and mine. Are they the same or is mine a little bit more south than there's from the date? Edited by RobO411 08/05/2022 4:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 8:45 pm Keep in mind about die scratch markers. 1. In the open fields the die scratches flatten quickly. 2. Die scratches near devices will last longer. Sometimes you can see the previous die scratches near the devices and other new die scratches can be seen. 3. Devices seen inside of closed devices will last the longest. Inside mintmarks, closed devices, digits and on the bays on the Memorial cents. So what you could be seeing is older die scratches that were stronger and slower to fade away. That maybe what you are seeing on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 10:52 pm Thanks coop. Die scratches inside and SE of the MM. Really sorry everyone about this MM. Is one lower than the other from the date? I promise this will be it. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8767 Posts	Posted 08/07/2022 10:01 pm Rob, I'm sure you wanted a take from someone other than me but feel my attribution is correct, I've made mistakes before and will again but think I'm right on this one. There is so much that can change with a die and coin, given time and that has to be taken into consideration when attempting to attribute. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
