Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 10:11 am Does not appear to be an RPM, maybe a circulation hit. But maybe a much better image could help. Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6453 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 10:51 am https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...images/38495 That is the 1942 D over Horizontal D. You should hang onto that coin regardless. Only 13M cupronickel 1942-D 5c coins were struck before the Denver Mint switched over to the War Nickel alloy. http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...%201942D.htm http://www.doubleddie.com/1468982.html https://www.conecaonline.info/jeffe...h=1942-D+RPM The CONECA site lists a fourth RPM with an edge peeking out under the D. Definitely need a sharper picture to make a determination here. Edited by Brandmeister 10/16/2023 10:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 11:01 am @Brand - are you saying that the OP's coin is the RPM? If so, I'm not that sure, not without much better images.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 12:03 pm with both of you as Dearborn says, can't really tell without better photos, but as Brandmeister says if it is RPM, it's most likely the D over horizontal D RPM, not the D over D, or D over S RPM. For sure definitely need much clearer photos of the mint mark. If it's full of dark gunk, then a soak in acetone and some very light agitation using a Q-Tip on it may help loosen the gunk up enough to show it better. Since it's already a circulated and worn coin it won't hurt value unless you are too aggressive and make it appear cleaned. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 12:42 pm I am seeing a circulation hit on the mint mark. Better images would help. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6453 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 1:37 pm I was not saying it was the RPM. I was just listing the references for checking it, since Hip is new to CCF. Maybe there's some possibility that the mint mark is one of the two subtle D/D south RPM, but it doesn't seem like the big dog D-over-horizontal-D from those first pictures.
