<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 882663, member: 4350&quot;]If you see the plating exposed,&nbsp; it is likely a clunker.&nbsp; An RPM will have a specific look to it and will appear as two raised mint marks in very close proximity to each other.&nbsp; We look for things called splits and grooves.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Splits happen where the serifs on the letters overlap.&nbsp; You will actually see a slight separation on parts of the mint mark effected by an RPM.&nbsp;&nbsp; Often the serifs of the D is effected on a Denver mint coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Grooves are usually longer lines between the double images.&nbsp; The groove will be between two raised portions of the mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes some time to learn what&#039;s good and what is junk but it is well worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
