Hey y'all!

So this coin looks like a rpm or die event. It's really hard to get a picture through the plastic case. but would love to hear your thoughts.

I researched & VV does not have a rpm listed. But it really looks like something!
Of I could open the container I could get better pictures but it doesn't seem to open.

I think that's part of what's considered normal. Check more mint marks of that period and you will find many that look similar.

It is a normal MM for the proofs. Find this more in CAM coins.

Coop explain well by the photos. I want to tell you: That year the mint choice to has sheriff on MM only upper end. Due to internal move of the flow of the material during the strike, the upper MM is affected more and could be thicker. This it is what you see on your coin.

In 95% of MM RPM's I find the lower end of the MM is affected.

But this is still a keeper as a 40% silver proof coin.
