CentR Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 10/24/2025 11:17 pm Is this an RPM to the south or something else, e.g. Die Deterioration? I can only see what might be a distinct RPM south of the mintmark, that does not look like the streaky lines of Die Deterioration, when I angle the slab and in closeups. Notes There's no known RPMs on a 1974-D 50C. This coin has an MS67 grade, so if there is a subtle real undiscovered RPM, this would be a coin that it might show up on. Report this Post to the Staff

CentR Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 10/25/2025 12:00 am Here's a better image of the lines in the area. There appears to be die file lines covering the area, perhaps to address an RPM? I wonder if in the closeup those might look like flow lines or if there's deterioration too? Report this Post to the Staff

Looks more like flow lines from a worn die and that is causing slight Die Deterioration of the mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
