CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 01:11 am I finally picked up a bag of wheats from a LCS and a couple rolls into it pulled this out. This one was easy tell just by feel that it was thin and underweight (2.28g). I added another photo because I think this might be 1950S-1MM-010 S/S/S. It is tough to see with all the weakness and wear but I think the die scratch marker running through the "9" is there as well as the split bottom serif. https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/die...ie_state=mds "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Liag49 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 08:53 am Hi. I'm just beginning to learn how to identify these errors. Would I be close to correct thinking it would be: 1) misaligned and grease filled? 2) light due to thin planchet? Thanks! Edited by Liag49 05/28/2024 08:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 3:02 pm Thanks for the comments! interested in opinions about the possible RPM also. Quote: 2) light due to thin planchet? This is correct, weakness in strike due to thin planchet. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 8:16 pm Nice find. Quote: 1) misaligned and grease filled? Not much misaligned. The rim and the weak strike on the left side of the coin is from the planchet being tapered on that side. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95322 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 9:28 pm Quote: interested in opinions about the possible RPM also. Well, I'm not seeing an RPM here, looking at VV anything that is remotely similar to the appearance to your MM does not natch the MM location. I think you see MD on it. Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 05/30/2024 2:34 pm Congrats. That's a nice tapered planchet but I agree with Dearborn about it not being RPM-001. The MM isn't close enough. The MM should almost be touching the first 5. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
