MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1183 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 11:08 pm I checked all similar listings on Variety Vista, RPM-005 seems the closest to me by far, but I could really some opinions. I believe the mint mark, date (specifically the 9 & 2), and obverse die scratches / lack of reverse die scratches are a good match to Stage C. http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...2SRPM005.htm Thank you!

MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1183 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 11:47 pm Thank you both. I see what you mean now, the entire mark itself would need to shift... RPM-017 was second in my mind, but I'm clearly not doing too well yet! It does appear further to the right than 005. They're many for this year/mint it seems. http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...2SRPM017.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Mintmarks have to be in the exact location as the variety example picture because the cents are coming off of the same die! Report this Post to the Staff
uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 08/29/2025 08:07 am Nice find , I do believe that your coin is rpm-017 , if you look at the die scratches on the #9 of the date you can see them going in the same direction Report this Post to the Staff
