it's always best to try and get a full picture of the coin on both sides.

 

I agree.
Also, try to clean up the Mintmark and see what happens.

 

Which one do you think it is similar to? Similar is not the same as exact, and then you have to ensure the MM is in exactly the same position. Of the 12 listed RPM's, 3 are business strikes and the rest are for proof issues.

 

I've mentioned that to him plenty of times.

 

@ARBIE SANTOS

A full pic makes it easier to determine if it's mechanical doubling or RPM.

The close ups are useful, especially since they're in focus, but you need both to tell the whole story.

 

Variety Vista only lists the RPM's as proofs not business strikes by your picture the coin appears to be a regular strike.

 

As I stated above, of the 12 listed, 3 are business strikes
001, 002 and 011

 

Not on variety Vista

 

Very strange Potty, the page you are showing is nothing like this VV page

Ok no your right I got confused the appearance looks like a nickel to me not a cent it's just to toning I guess then.The date and mint mark isn't in the right spot for a nickel anyway,I need a brain break.

 

heres a full picture

 

Those are doe chips in the MM. Not an RPM.

 

I have said it before, you need to send full pics for the best results. We are here to help others while enhancing our own knowledge. Good luck.

 

Nope. Smooched

 

@Eric

use your cell phone. We’re not thick. Common cents

 

I don't want to be that person but I feel that I must. Although this coin is not what you were hoping for and you did post full images (thank you) I see that you posted the full images in a flip. Flips tend to make bad images.
