I need the rpm expert on this nickel .......

 

I see die deterioration again which affects the appearance of the mint mark.

 

It's not a proof. I don't see an RPM.

 

View attachment 1255427 I thought all S nickels were proofs..... View attachment 1255427

 

I must be missing something cause it sure looks like a rpmtome but i might be wrong....

 

123mil business strikes.

 

The glare from the light source gives the impression of RPM. If you alter the light direction, you will get a different photo. Try to enlarge the MM and shoot photos with light from different positions, ie. N, S, E and W. Only one business strike (007) is referenced on VV and it is CCW.

 

I concur, no RPM, sorry.

 

1968-1974 S had buisness strikes in addition to proofs. Nickels suffered the same dilemma as cents during this period with filled or slightly filled mint marks in addition to die deterioration issues which gave the appearance of rpm's.

Any clue what the fifth line means?

 

Robert, are you asking about the heat treating? That’s in the last line.

 

Disregard this post. I had the wrong pic.

 

I see. It’s unintelligible.

 

@tommyc03 Re-read the posts.

My question was: "Any clue what the fifth line means?"

 

..., while coins beFORe that....

I had to read it a few times.

 

Seems to be a typo
