RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/13/2023 7:37 pm This MM has a pretty good split lower serif. Nothing on the upper serif. Inside the D upper left it looks to have start of D. I checked all three sites. Coppercoin has only three MM with only the lower serif with a split. Those MM are further away from the 95. Those #s are 1MM-022,030,078. I checked for MM that were looking close to 95. # 1MM-089 is to close and 075 MM sets in a slightly different angle. About the DDO. Does the first T of TRUST look like it has slight doubling below the horizontal crossbar? There's no listing on the sites for 1959 D with double crossbar. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 05/13/2023 9:16 pm Looks like an RPM, but not sure about the DDO. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 04:23 am Minor RPM and the T I think is die wear not a DDO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 11:12 am There are many known RPM's to chose from for 1959-D, as you probably know. I have been going through quite a few lately for this RPM. Hopefully you find an attribution match! Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 11:49 am with you @John1. The die has a lot of miles on it. It shows all over the obverse. Are the red arrows pointing to the problem of die wear? Yes Tacc there is a lot of 59D RPM's. Usually I just put them down as RPM. Unless they have( boom now that's different). Just like for the 60's for sure. Edited by RobO411 05/14/2023 11:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 12:02 pm I think so,the metal is being "stretched". John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 07:53 am MD or die abrasion? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 08:55 am Red arrows - could be radial flow lines, You can see them well by the MM as sell. (all flowing outwards rom the center), and the green arrows could be MD. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 11:50 am Flow lines from die wear on the die. Keep in mind, the fields are the outside part of the die. So the die wear shows as lines across the field areas. When polished off, if not fully removed, the void on the die will show up as a raised area on the coin. Thus this is not a doubled die. All the devices would be showing the same thing on that area if it were a doubled die. That is what you are seeing on this coin. https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=eds Note on the DDO, the spread for a doubled die, makes the devices taller on most of the devices, not just affecting one single area on a device. So look for the spread of the devices. Depending on the affected hub doubling, it could be taller/wider/rotated on several of the devices on that area. So what you should be looking for the spread/enlarging of the devices. Not the outer edges of the devices. That is where die polishing affects the devices, reducing the size of the devices. Note how the spread is seen as enlarging the size of the devices because of the hub doubling? Edited by coop 05/15/2023 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 4:39 pm . Thanks everyone for looking and commenting. Just thought it might/could've been DDO. I saw this on Wexler maybe could've been. I know it's a 59P but. Report this Post to the Staff
