1959 repunched mintmark

Do you see the repunched d under the d?? I just learned about this error and this 1959’d looks to have something similar where the letter ends. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

taking notes

 

Yours looks like that to me at least.
*Disclaimer* I've been wrong before

 

I do see the similarity with that pic. from the Lincoln resource center not the one you sent me as your link shows more like a full d under the date's d, but the one I posted

 

Yeah I can see that too.
I do believe you have an RPM there, though at this current point in time I couldn't tell you which one.

Help me Rick Stachowski you're my only hope.

 

And you mine

 

If capable of doing a photo overlay, this may be more telling than any opinion received here. From just a quick phone comparison they look close but not exact. However this could be the the result of less than ideal photos or even wear.

 

I will come back with better pictures tomorrow, I don't have a way to maximize the d any more with the resources I have right now. I can see the same error as I posted when I look at it with the loupe but I can't take a perfect pict to show it

 

By "less than ideal" I meant not necessarily perfectly square, and was also meant in context.

 

You need to take a image with the mint-mark being level and plumb .

 

I had to look up level and plumb lol, I think I have the idea, thanks I will, I have to go out to find a better loupe

 

Take a image like this one .

You can also keep the whole date in the image too .
This will give us placement on both the date and the mint-mark .

 

Or otherwise known as square.

 

The old carpenter square .
As being a mason, we used that square a lot .

 

The same basic idea in a roundabout sort of way, yeah.

Just so this doesn't potentially become confusing to the OP, by square I mean ensuring the camera's sensor is at the same exact angle as the coin's surface as well as centered directly above it. Think of a capital "I" with the upper bar being the sensor and the lower the coin.

 

Think you got that one in spades
