Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 05:46 am I got these three from an old album and the "D" mint has a different look to it. It weighs 2.8 but is thinner than the others. Any ideas? Also, is the "S" an RPM? In the area of the date/MM it has heavy die-polishing lines. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 05:52 am @step, rather than being a RPM, that mintmark looks to me like DDD. The steel planchets were extra tough on the dies.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 1:40 pm Not seeing an RPM. The ones with shiny edges are re-processed and considered PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 4:17 pm They look like original surfaces. (Not a re-processed and that is a good thing, 2X2 may protect the surfaces better) So I would probably keep them in a 2X2 to protect them. But the die is showing extreme die wear. This happened a lot that year because of the steel planchets and the steel dies. (Die wear is always in the direction of the closest rims) So it is not a variety coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96457 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 6:37 pm Looks like the P and S have been re-plated - that would account for the color differences. Collecting since 1972.
