fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3628 Posts	Posted 07/29/2025 12:17 pm Are we sure this isn't Variety Vista 1943-S RPM-002 / Copper Coins 1943S-1-MM-002 / Wexler WRPM-005? The mm position looks right, and the scratch and die chip above the mm look right, but the mm itself looks a bit different. Wexler notes three different stages of this one, but doesn't have any photos. Report this Post to the Staff

I looked through all the RPM's on the big three sites and could not find anything. Pretty sure this is a combination of what others are saying, Die Deterioration and issues from being re-plated. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
