Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 08:05 am Well, I would have to say stage C with lots of flattening to boot. Your MM is very very flat and fat along the spine when comparing to the ones listed on VV for MM-009. But I have been known to be very wrong at times - lets see what others have to say.....

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 08:15 am Funny thing is that your MM looks an awful lot like the style used in 1928 - but that is impossible, right? http://varietyvista.com/25%20What%2...20Styles.htm Collecting since 1972.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 08:30 am I am familiar with the MMS-009 / MMS-004, old punch that was brought back after MMS-008 failed but had not seen Dr. Wiles breakdown of stages until I read the link you provided, Bent. I would think yours is what he is calling stage C but with the subtle differences, and a circulated example, hard to tell. As far as worth, I would have no clue, as much of this information is new to all. From what Dr. Wiles is saying, the stage B would be scarce but as I said, it would be hard, at least in my opinion to tell the difference, unless you had a near perfect example. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Bentpenny Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 7:16 pm Thanks to all for your help. I am going to do some more research on this one I will let you know what I find out. Thanks Bent. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 9:50 pm Bent, just to give you some background on what you're looking at, if you did not know. I have put this link up several times and think some are starting to remember but thought you should know where to start. The study in the link you provided was new to me, I did not realize he (Dr Wiles), had done that, since the link I have provided here. Hope this helps you.
