coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 12:24 am Umm, no.. It's not a die chip. I cannot say for sure that it's not an RPM, but it is something that affected the die before it went into a lot of use, and it did not develop, or progress, as die chips do. It's also not in a common area of weakness like a die chip would be. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 08:33 am Not sure whats with the 9, it does look like an RPM to me and the 1 seems odd to me, it doesn't look like a typical ding/smear to me on the top right of the 1, sorry for the weired description of ding/smear but that's all I could come up with .

Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 08:53 am I agree Chuck, it seems the "gouge" is slightly separated from the 9 which clearly shows in pic #1. Could it be that this die suffered some damage while in service causing this misplaced chip to be taken out? ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 7:21 pm Looks like a tilted RPM to me. The serifs on the lower mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/19/2009 07:38 am Dick: It looks more like this one. Despite the damage on the upper part of the mint mark. Check out the markers on 036 for this year. Edited by coop 04/19/2009 07:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
