<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1513513, member: 15199&quot;]Up until the mint mark was added to the master die,( various dates for denominations), the mint mark was added to the working die.&nbsp; This coin would come under the manual addition time. Since at least 2 blows were used by the die setter, it was very difficult to get a 100.00% duplication so no variation showed, so the idea of a RPM varied according to visibility and degree of variation, when very low on these 2 scales, arguments were very often. Pricing reflects this along with other factors, such as rarity and condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the photos, I personally would not call it a RPM, as I feel if any doubling from the strikes is there, and it probably is on a microscopic scale, it is not enough to qualify and any value for it would be disregarded. For a premium, it should be readily visible with a 5X magnifier and separation apparent. IMO, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
