Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74064 Posts	Posted 11/18/2024 6:48 pm The RPM is South on the mint mark on VV. The example pictured on VV is also showing Split Plating. Your coin isn't showing an RPM South. You only have Split Plating. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

They look the same When these started popping up early on, I believe that sites like VV 'thought' it was an RPM and listed it. It is MY belief that all of them are just split plating - I mean you can clearly see the zinc core in your image. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

The easiest way to tell this is split plating is the color. Why is it silver when the rest of the coin is brown? The copper plating split open, exposing the zinc core. The copper plating is extremely thin and can break open like this when the coin is struck. I think I can see this effect above STATES on the reverse of this coin as well.
