Does anyone have a reference for

Miss placed MM's.
I will be honest, I haven't searched much further than Coneca 1-67 of their RPM's.
Does this look like one. Or is this some dropped element that etched it's way onto the Die face?


There is also a little die chip marker on the O of one.

Well you know I cannot answer that but nice one.

 

Sometimes it is just diving into key words on the internet. It looks like a D in hand with better details under a loupe. The D is fully formed. It is just a little bit larger than a MM.

 

It does look like it’s a tad to the right and usually directly in middle. Of most anyway.

 

The D is near horizontal in the loop of the 9.

 

I think you answered it yourself. You said it's bigger than the mint mark. Bigger isn't the same.

 

IMHO, since MMs were hand punched at that time (1960), there is bound to be movement of the mint mark, but it might not result in a rpm.

It is, as you say, slightly bigger than the original MM, but it is also smaller and wrong shape to be a dropped D from God. Planchet flaw that was not struck out?

 

Thanks ya'll I am gonna take another look at this one a little later after I wake up. I will let you know what I have come up with.

 

It is actually the same shape and size as the D from God. I will try and get some better photos.
It would be beneficial of I had a stacking program.

 

Well I also said dropped element.
The thing is that it doesn't look like a dropped element There is a very fine raised outline of a D.

 

True, I think Coppercoins has 223 different RPM's for the year. Nearly double the amount of VV.

 

Does anyone know how to use Gimp?
I would download the program but my computer is old and scared that it will slow my system down even more than it is right now.
@justafarmer if it is not too much trouble can you check the image against the size of the D from God and the MM?

 

Since letters and numbers are incused on the die how would a letter drop off?

 

It is the compacted grease and debris in the incused part which falls out and is then subsequently struck into the coin wherever it landed.

 

@robec
For a dropped element to have been struck that many times that it changed and altered the die face is uncommon. I am still having trouble identifying this coin. I have some photos that I still need to crop. That say it is raised on the coin. I will do that soon. So, that there isn't any confusion as to what I see in hand VS the provided photos so far.

 

Thank you. I hadn’t thought about that.

 

These are the best that I have been able to get so far. And not sure that I can get any better.

 

I am having a hard time showing the straight upright to the D, but it is also raised. Just nearly horizontal.
