Ozzy5150 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 02:43 am Just found this example looking for 1956D RPM's. Can't find anything on this. I'm sure it's not the only one just curious as to if anyone has seen this, if it's a variety or any thoughts in general. To me it looks like doubling of the vest in a ccw rotation, or possibly that part of the hub hit the die on an angle. (My apologies for not referencing the exact type of doubling but I think you will get my point.) Possibly the die wasn't cleaned up all the way or something to that effect because that would leave a coin to the likes of a '55 or '69. I will say with confidence it is obviously the vest or bust line that is angling out to the ESE of the bust to the South of the mint mark. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 6:03 pm The pics are a little fuzzy but my best guess is die abrasions. You can see it all the way down the front of the jacket. Looks like a mint worker just got a little heavy handed. Here is a marked up pic of your full coin shot, zoomed in, Ozzy5150. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
