Is this a re-punched mint mark? Pic 3 is just comparing the S mint mark in question, left, against coin on the right which is a 55 S. Thanks for your time and feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 6:59 pm @601digs: The RPM mean rotate MM. This mean that you will see the MM strike and has the main and behind a second one BUT with different orientation. Majority are versus East, never up. west orientation it is more rare. The RPM could be very well see or can have very small mark of. Hope you bring a nice one here. I do not collect them, except the photos, but I love them. PS: OH, the RPM's are part of the Mint Striking History and procedures. Edited by silviosi 08/05/2022 7:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95405 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 9:45 pm If you are going to be comparing MM of different coins, be sure to use the same year, as the mint changes MM tools at times and they may not match.
