sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 12:49 am Just noticed the two "horns" poking out of the east side of the mint mark. The position & tilt of mint mark match, and also all the die polishing lines coming off the west side of the 9 and D are perfect too with copper coins. Its nice when a wheat bag has a Red high AU grade variety. Makes ID'ing so much easier. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds Edited by sheldius 09/11/2022 09:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

Is the thinking that the punch was turned upside down at first?

Spence, I did a rudimentary mark up of VV's 011 to show how the RPM lays. I call them "Hooks", instead of horns, sometimes one, sometimes two. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 11:51 am On the 1960-D RPM-023, you can see the outer loop better on that RPM: But that is the correct number for this RPM. 1957-D RPM-011 http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...7DRPM011.htm Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 2:05 pm Thanks MakeCents and Coop for the details. Spence- I have searched through 1957 D enough times and flipping through the RPM pages to remember there was a potential hook in SE on this date. Thought I might see it here (though the corrosion spot made me wonder) and rechecked the sites for the die polish lines. Most of time I when I "remember" something its not a match. This was the lucky time. LOL. Edited by sheldius 09/11/2022 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
