Looks just like the RPM-021 to me.

Yes it is like 021 listed as D/D. All obverse matches. MM lines up the same to the date. Obverse markers are the same as CopperCoins (MDS). Reverse markers does not match either CopperCoin or Variety Vista (EDS) or (MDS) But this coin looks to have more Ds though.

Rob, that looks like 021. There are two reverses for this RPM though. Did you consider that, when looking at markers?

Thanks for the photos Rob as well. I'm lately into searching mintmarks and having great clear photos is necessary. I have mostly 50's & 60's coins so now 1960-D will my next year to search. I'd like to hear if you find a matching mint marker set.

Thank you both for looking and comments. @Tacc. I usually don't try to find a listing for 60D there's just too many. I just put them down as RPM. Unless they're something like this one. @makecents. Jon. Yes checked both Coppercoins and VarietyVista. Coppercoins (MDS) obverse is a match. Nothing matching their reverse markers. VarietyVista. On their obverse stage A I can tell it's not a match from the scratch/crack running S/W from lower part of D to the bust. Mine does not have that. The rest of their obverse shot not really clear enough. On their reverse markers nothing matches their A—F. I tried different lighting angles and different powered scope.

Indeed Rob, I will specifically be searching for the RPM-021 on my 1960 coins. It's a cool version. I have a recent RPM find, 1959-D with obvious split serifs, but way too many versions to search. It's an RPM.

Sorry wasn't able to get back sooner. Here's the difference of markers that's on reverse. Something in field at left base. Die crack front of memorial bld. down through column 12. Start of a Die Break at right eave tip. Whatever that is above right roof.

Rob, it's RPM-021. You need to remember, the different sites base their die stages on what they have had, more than likely, more than one coin of each stage, they have maybe not seen your stage. You need to remember, there are more die abrasions and polishings in between each stage. I just think yours is in between. Die scratches appear and disappear throughout a dies life, just saying....

Thanks Jon. I agree with you about it being RPM 021. Obverse all lines up. Yes the reverse is probably in between their different stages. I'm wondering about it being just D/D. Doesn't mine looks to have more Ds?

What you are seeing could be more D's, it might be abrasions. Send it in.
