jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1262 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 9:39 pm Hi CCF. Still going through my proof cents and came across this 1974 S. Using my new "anti glare" system, this mint mark looks exactly like the Vista RPMP-01. May just be a common type MM, but it has a small spread on top of the S. Thanks for your opinion..

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8760 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 10:03 pm jfeed, the RPM-001 was delisted because of this study, it is not an RPM. Some light reading and nice pics. LINK http://varietyvista.com/Mystery%20o...%20Punch.htm -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1262 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 10:04 pm The attribution is listed as 1974-S MMS-009 (Stage C). Might as well put this post on hold until I can figure out how to show a link. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8760 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 07:42 am John, as I told the OP, check the link I provided, they have been delisted because of the study. I think there were several listings on all sites before this happened, but there is only one listed on cc now and would not be surprised if it were to go away too. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1262 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 4:11 pm Great explanation.. Further on down in the article is where I got my information showing a MM with a spread. I guess that's where I got hung up with the term RPMP. #65533; "The second theory is that of an RPMP. Picking up with the making of the new punch in the above scenario, all that is necessary here is to see the defective punch as actually a doubled punch. Stage A coins show only the defective bulge or knob. As cold working occurs, stage B (split upper serif only) coins begin to show. Fairly quickly the doubled image bursts out in full color (stage C). As the punch continues to be used across all denominations the doubled image fills in or wears off. The key here seems to be in the fact that no stage B (split upper serif only) coins are known for 1975 or Bicentennial coins, while stage C (full doubling) are known for both 1974 and 1975. The 1974-S doubled mintmarks, while not common, are nonetheless available. It is difficult to find the 1975-S and Bicentennial doubled mintmarks. This tends to indicate that the RPMP began to wear off early in the die production cycle of 1975. Of course this does not mean that true RPMs do not exist for 1974 and 1975. The prime example is the 1975-S Roosevelt dime RPM-001. There is no mistaking this as a RPMP." Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1262 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 4:42 pm This is the photo attached to the above article and the spread on top of the S made me see things that may not have been there. Thanks for all your help. On to the next exciting find. Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1262 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 9:11 pm Interesting and confusing. The spread on top of the S makes this one 2X2 flip bound. Report this Post to the Staff
