EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 4:31 pm Hi, Going through a lot of nickels and came upon this. Is this what I think it is (D/D-I know wishful thinking! lol) since none of the other Ds have something off the side like that below the actual D itself.

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 5:12 pm Zooming in to microscope image doesn't work too well.. Top blob is behind the D. Edited by EML Coin Collector 06/27/2023 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 5:32 pm the D vertical side probably took a hit. But please, moving foward, no scope screen shots - you can see how pixelated they can get. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 6:21 pm Dearborn-I agree-the first pic was better. It sucks shrinking a 3000x3000 image down to 500x to upload here since so much detail is lost that way too. John1-Looked at the RPM stuff,but it doesn't look like that either since the rotations don't match at all, but when I look closer, inside the D on the left and on the upper right of the D might be from another D behind it which I guess would be a RPM. Are you saying that the top blob broke off making it now look like it was only behind the top D or that is from the original D in the back? I've seen many examples on the internet from the graded 1942 nickel D/Ds and mine is similar to those to some degree too. So what I can gather is that if the back D is not horizontal then it can only be an RPM since there are no variations? I highlighted a rough outline to where it seems like the D behind it was since the microscope can pick up that much better.

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 7:24 pm silviosi That image is very similar to mine in terms of the inside (SE rpm 003) and is a typical RPM where you can "see" where the background mine mark is. Thanks for your help! Marlies Edited by EML Coin Collector 06/27/2023 7:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
