Dearborn Moderator United States 95694 Posts	Posted 09/15/2024 10:02 pm I agree, a die chip. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 04:20 am I think this is a known one. Do a little more research,start with the search box here on CCF. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4037 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 12:10 pm I'm surprised no one has named this one as it is the very famous "SJ" or "San Jose" mintmark / die chip. However, what most folks don't know is this is also Stage J of 1954-S RPM-002.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4037 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 7:19 pm Quote: 54s are loaded with them Not like this one! This one has been famous since the first books on "oddities" were published in the early 60's. Plus it's not just a coin with an interesting Die Chip, but also with a late die state RPM. For interested folks you can see it about halfway down the page here on CoC website: http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...k-1909-1958/ Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 7:42 pm Man, the mint put that die through the ringer. It goes to stage "L"!! (And appropriately, the "J" by the date shows up in Stage J on VV.) Thanks for pointing us in the right direction Ray. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
