I don't believe anyone is saying it is an RPM. We are speaking of varieties.
I am glad that I found this post! I believe that I have a slightly later state of this die. I have spent the last hour attempting to identify the...
The microscope I use is almost "too good", and not helping the problem you mention. The field of view is so sensitive at this extreme close-up, if...
This would definitely explain my confusion.
BUT, in hindsight, I think the arms of my "U" are much skinnier than those examples.... which if I recall correctly is a symptom of machine doubling.
Oh, I have been fooled by machine doubling, for sure. I actually assumed thats what this was.... until I looked at examples online. Many of the...

I have what I think is a 1948 Large Cent, which might be a N-33 (this is the closest Newcomb I could find when eliminating about 34 other...
I was going through a pile of discarded/cleaned coins, looking for junk silver, when I found this Ike. I must have put it in that pile when I was...
Thank you all for the replies. The planchet error makes sense, and really helps me with my grading decision. Unfortunately, though, my lifetime...
Hello Again - I recently grabbed some Canadian PL sets and was excited to find my 2nd error, ever ( a Double Horizon). According to what I am...
Ah of course, it was right there in the book. Thanks!
Being new to the hobby, I have only a 1 in 10 record for spotting actual errors. I have exhausted my sources on this one (maybe I missed a...
