[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 93503, member: 112"]I understand your point, but do you understand mine ? The outline of the underlying mint mark appears on all sides - top, sides and bottom. And it appears to be perfectly equal on all sides. Now the only way that could happen, if it were an RPM, would be for a slightly smaller mm punch to be used the second time, and that the second punch was placed precisely on top of and perfectly centered over the larger first mint mark. And since the mint marks were punched in by hand - I find that just a tad hard to believe. Now it's certainly possible I am wrong. And since neither the [I]Cherrypicker's Guide[/I] nor CONECA have any listing for a '38-S RPM - you would have a new variety discovery. So maybe it would be worthwhile to send the coin to CONECA for confirmation.[/QUOTE]
