Looks like a RPM but couldn't find any matches on the popular sites, also while looking I found this anomaly on the front of the best! Your thoughts would be great . Thanks in advance!
That does look like an RPM to me too. Did you check coppercoins? I think there is like 8 or 10 pages of 59D RPMs.
Specifically the front of vest. To the west of the date. That does not appear that way.(flat and shelf like) IMO. That's why I turn to you guys. Thanks for the reply BTW.
IMHO it is nothing.. I see too much wear and tear damage around the date to think it is all damage you are seeing. Even the Mint Mark
It looks like a later die state than this one. http://varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/1959DRPM021.htm
I'm really having trouble with this one, specifically the front of the vest. I respect all members answers but there is something going on there. I MAY send this one in to get looked at! It's only money rite!
I see no reason whatsoever to question it being an RPM, even with the surrounding damage. Although well-placed hits, etc do occur and can be misleading, nothing suggests this is the case here. Nice find, OP.
