<p>[QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 2843195, member: 84739"]These are the same coin just using different lighting or filters . . . Yes? Whatever the case, I do believe you have something going on there: possibly a rotated MM, or; a combination of punches, or; possibly even RPM with DDO . . . but without more thorough pics it is hard to tell. I'm almost sure it is NOT the 011 RPM, as a quick & dirty overlay I did last night appears to confirm that the MMs location relative to the Date, are different. I try and confirm that today with a more complete overlay.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the absence of definitive evidence to the contrary, I am hard pressed to understand why the Mint would have used the same damaged punch on at least 4 different dies (with 3 of those being "Proof" dies). Dr. Wiles will generally point out when an anomaly that could be seen as a RPM was in fact caused by a damaged punch; in the instant case I have not seen such a notation, but then again I may have overlooked same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't give up the ship just yet; an answer may well be out there, but just not found yet<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!
