[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 418635, member: 12159"]Howdy Frank, Acanthite, AJ, Huntsman, Okay, because of your help I have made a decision this cent is a 1959D-1MM-014 D/D North, maybe MDS. It is also listed as RPM#14 and WRPM-033. The diagnostics I used were the position of the coin to the 5, the die marker next (nearly touching) the second 9, and the die crack which begins about 7 o'clock from the rim, then north and west across about half of the sleeve. The die marker west of the second 9 does not show good on this darker version of the photograph. It was a choice of seeing the die marker or the hook on the mm. In this case, the reverse told us nothing helpful concerning markers. Also, the die crack on the sleeve is much less pronounced than the photograph on coppercoins.com. This likely means my coin is either an EDS or LDS as compared to the MDS of the photograph. Unfortunately I forgot to include a thumbnail of the die crack because, well, I just forgot. A word to the timid... (me too!)... don't be afraid to ask questions, post pictures, and be willing to accept opinions about your 'find'. At some point the help you receive will help you will to zero in on the right answer for the question you have asked. jeankay[/QUOTE]
