CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 03:36 am Just pulled this going through a pile of coins! I nearly dismissed this as a hit but gave Coppercoins a look and it's a match. According to Coppercoins "A portion of the secondary mintmark shows to the southeast and is slightly rotated CCW. This variety is seemingly scarce, perhaps because 1979D is a year not known for varieties, therefore not heavily searched. A certified AU50 copy sold for $40.00" So this is a nifty find. Thanks for looking! 1979D-1MM-001 "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8775 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 10:55 am Very cool find! I was not even aware of this or the other two RPM's, listed on cc. Do you think that's clash remnants, sticking out south of the mm? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 10:56 am Congrats on a nice RPM. I think you are right about this year not being searched as heavily. This is also the year for the broken punch which throws a lot of people off of searching for them. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96989 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 11:02 am Pretty nice RPM The second one is weaker then the main MM - It makes me wonder how these originate - The mint worker hitting on the MM tool twice and the tool moving just a teeny bit between hits? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7514 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 12:03 pm Yes indeed, a very nice and hard to find RPM, MM location is correct, a 2x2 worthy for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 1:28 pm Many thanks for the comments! -Makecents- The portion sticking out south of the MM is the secondary MM. It shows the bottom serif of the D and it is rotated slightly CCW. Interesting that this shows the damaged punch of the bottom serif of the secondary MM more clearly than other examples listed on the attribution sites.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 1:33 pm 1979-D RPM-001 http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...9DRPM001.htm 1979D-1MM-001 https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=lds Note this one is a NE. The Look of the Lower serif is not part of the RPM. The East side is showing the RPM. The Split on the lower serif if from a damaged mintmark punch and can be seen on many cents as well as all other denominations. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 5:12 pm Hey Coop, I did note that damaged punch issue in the reply before yours. Do you see that damaged serif on the secondary MM poking out SE of the primary MM? It looks like it to me. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8775 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 5:14 pm I guess that's why I was wondering. Did not see this on the listings. Thanks! -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 8:28 pm That's a weird one all the way around. I'm with smat I would have missed that one. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 02:03 am Yeah Willburton, I can imagine finding these and throwing them back in wild by accident over the years. Which is why they are, or were, considered scarce. This MM was in good enough condition to where I paused long enough to a second look thankfully.
