coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 11:11 am The double rim could be part of a MAD with the obverse slight out of alignment. The mint mark, it would be nice to see a closer image. Is their any Machine Doubling on either side of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 09:00 am There is no noticeable Machine Doubling. That may be because the coin is so worn . . . perhaps not. In any event, here are more pics. I think the die was slightly misaligned when this coin was struck. I also think it is more likely than not that the mint mark was repunched, as opposed to having a contact mark. I sure would appreciate your input. Also, I don't see any of the die markers that you would expect to see on this coin. Again, I think that is because the coin is heavily worn. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 10:16 am I would hang on to this until you have others to mail in to coppercoins.com The images don't say to me it is a RPM, but a closer look might be needed to tell for sure. Save it marked for submission till you find another coin to send in. The bottom of the mint mark is from a damaged punch. The mark on the upper serif? It may/may not be something.
