1943 Mercury Dime RPD?

Is this a RPD? The Star in the Reverse, Increase the value? The packing circular mark, is positive detail, o negative on the value calculation?

If RPD stands for Reverse Postmint Damage, then the answer is yes.

 

In other words ROCKDUDE, The double 9 and double 3, does mean, nothing to you?

 

You had me focusing in on the arrows. I'll let the pro's chime in on the numbers, to out of focus for me..

 

There are most close pictures of the Star, the 3 and the 9. The other reason I bring this coin to discussion is that. There is the Butterfly shape, very, very light almost in the same spot of the 1934 Mercury.

 

#1: RPD? No. You can't have an RPD after 1908. The dates were added to the master die.
#2: Reverse star? Nope, Post mint.

#3; HOWEVER: The date: There is NO listed variety (other than a reverse cud) for this date.

And that date SURE LOOKS LIKE A DDO!

I'd love to see it in personn.

[I hope that this site doesn't remove my caps.]


It looks like a real submission to Collector's Clearinghouse!
[Coin World, esp now that Von Klinger is gone.]

 

The coin looks like it was damaged ,the 3 is not doubled it looks like it was damaged the top is chopped off looks like it took a hit, the 9 is not doubled it looks like a die gouge there.

The obverse looks like it was damaged there's a hole there looks like that took a hit also No dd at all

jazz:
Are you looking at the same pictures as I am?

Sure there is a bunch of reverse damage, and nothing on the reverse.

BUT!
That date is interesting.

Where is Mike when we need him?

 

I live in Copiague, Long Island, New York. If you want see the dime, it's not problem.

 

Pm'd you.

 

Now that i really observed the coin ,did you check out the chin area now that looks doubled ,well since i see that it;s possible your may be right,

The mark near the 9 looks like a die gouge to me the 3 does looks a little interesting, because the middle line in the three seems to be doubled the images are not that clear to determine this except for the chin area

I can't make an accurate conclusion on this lt's possible it may be a double die you need to see this one in person.

Hi,

It's all damage, even the three was crushed and the "split" you see on the center portion of the 3 is damaged metal. The 9 is machine doubling and is flat and step like.


Thanks,
Bill

 

obvious post mint damage.

 

Was this a coin-counter candidate? It's got a circle on the reverse!

 

yup, the reverse is nothing but damage.

However, the obverse?

 

I have to agree with you treashunt the obverses doe's look interesting look close at the chin area that area doe's look doubled. The 9 is not doubled at all it's a die gouge you could tell by the appearance > The 3 is questionable . The obverse is just damage that;s plan as day. The coin has to be examined in person pictures just don't tell the true story.

In 1990 I bought a bunch of Mercuries. These others belong to that group. May be these help.

 

I think you are trying to compare these to the possible doubled die you may have .

I examined the coin and it may be a DD ,but not sure.There is no listing for that variety doubled chin and the 3 in the date, but it does't rule it out that it's not a DD could be a new variety they are discovered everyday .

So it;s posible but again i;m not sure ,and i don't want to give a positve conclusion on your coin.

The coin should be looked at in persion to determine this

I agree with Treashunt that the Date on the coin is interesting and needs closer inspection!


Carlos...These three 1943 Mercury Dimes have no relevance on the topic of the Thread or to the original coin unless they have Dates that are similar to the Date on the original coin!

Frank:
I think that he is just posting them to show others of the same date.
these all appear to be normal.
