1946d rpm #9

I was browsing through some cents for sale on e-bay and ran across this Rpm. I can't seem to access the coppercoins site to check it out but it doesn't look right. Maybe someone could check the site and respond.

POLISHED DIE TRAIL, Makes me wonder about some of the other items for sale.

About the first link, I definitely don't believe its a RPM. Theres no second D, or any traces....just a thicker mint mark, which could be caused by a couple different things. If anything, it looks like PMD and someone smushed down part of the mintmark.

As for the second link, I don't know...I do know of an error like the streaking that's there, however I'm confused ...what does he mean by "polished?" Sounds sketchy....:thumb:

 

The streaks are called die trails. Apparently some people think they are caused when the die is polished for one reason or another. I'm not sure if they have actually figured out what causes them

Nice to see my coins causing controversy. Sorry rockdude. Sometimes I get lazy on the low budget errors. I should have posted a better picture for the rpm. Ill post one here for you. I just bought my first rpm's for $1 a pop at a flea market from a dealer that has never done me wrong before. Im very new to rpm's so this was a learning experience. The 46 d is weak I agree, and very hard to take a photo. Most of the rpms were.

As for the die trail error, I am the founder of the 2010 die trail error. I believe there is a lot more of them out there.
It was also very hard to take photos of it. Taking good pictures is not my strong suit. Actually the owner of the website desertgem has mentioned has asked for my permission to use my picture I used in that ebay auction, and has asked if he could examine the coin. Im very excited about the whole thing actually. The error looks a lot better in hand.
All my errors are 100% legit mint errors. I havent had a complaint since I can remember, and I offer full returns on all my error coins if not fully satisfied. My prices are also probably the best prices on ebay.

 

This photo is better I hope.

 

sorry wrong 46 d rpm.
the ebay one is still an rpm, but very hard to see.
you can see on the lower left of the D
