<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2562851, member: 81585&quot;]There was no spin, twist or whatever else you want to call it. As I sated early on in this thread I was not going to rule out the possibility of RPM, you guys have twisted it trying to make me look like I have already decided and was very insistent to the point. I ruled out &quot;Plating Blister&quot; as I have repeatedly explained and I also explained why I came to that conclusion. I did however look at the picture again and I see how it may have been confused as such. The lower part of the &quot;D&quot; is very thin which in the picture sort of looks like it is in a recess but I assure you it is not. The MM sits level in the field and the height is consistent all the way around. The second &quot;D&quot; if that is what we are going to call it, is as well level with the field and the height is uniform at about half the height of the actual MM with the exception of a hit on the right. At the points where the second intersects the first there is no distortion of any kind, it looks exactly as other attributed RPMs that I own. Now about the hit on the right, I looked at it under my scope and it is clear that it took a hit and the metal has been displaced as would be expected. If it was a blister it would have ruptured at that point and wouldn&#039;t have solid displaced metal. I pointed out early in this thread that the area was solid with no signs of it being a plating issue but you guys proceeded to ignore that and start the insults that has gotten us to this point. I posses the knowledge and experience to deduce a simple plating issue and I didn&#039;t dictate what others was seeing but only what I was seeing. Its not my fault that everyone wanted to fixate on &quot;RPM?&quot;.</p><p>In the title I wrote &quot;RPM?&quot; which indicates that there was a question, now what question you ask. If I were the one reading it I would assume one possibly of the following questions.</p><p>1)Could this possibly be a RPM?</p><p>2)It looks like a RPM but I&#039;m not sure what it could it be?</p><p>3)Does anyone have a knowledge of there possibly being a RPM?</p><p>4)That the closest that the OP can come up with, do you have any ideas?</p><p>5)What would cause this that would look like a RPM?</p><p>If I had a predetermined idea of it being a RPM I would have written it like &quot;RPM.&quot; or if I was enthusiastic or excited about it I may have written it like &quot;RPM!&quot;, but not with a &quot;?&quot;. Interpretation is something that I spoke of earlier as well, from now on I will be sure to explain myself a little better, you can bet on that!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Agreed but no one here is on a schedule that I am aware of that we would have to worry about getting nowhere. This is a forum where like minds share and help each other to my understanding, by what should be getting a clear idea of what a poster is asking or implying before attacking. Sometimes giving it a little more thought and maybe ask a question or two before resorting to giving (in you mind) definitive responses like you are the &quot;all knowing&quot; authority is a bit insulting to people with experience. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I did notice and thanks for reminding me of that. That gentleman also gave a complement &quot;It is still a cool looking second D&quot; and because of all the back and forth I forgot to thank him. Thank you for that and I agree, even though it may turn out to be nothing it is still interesting and my plan is to keep it in my collection. I commented earlier about my thoughts on hub doubling and no one disagreed so I assume that it was not an issue. About the Photoshop thing I made a simple comment to the responder that &quot;I don&#039;t do Photoshop&quot; which is a very true statement. I am not one of those people that sit around all day inventing of ways to trick people. When I post a photo on here the only thing that I do is crop it and adjust the file size so it can be easily uploaded and viewed, I do not have the time or interest to do any photo editing in my life.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If something seems questionable to you then point it out or ask a question and I will do me very best to answer or accommodate. I don&#039;t want anyone to think that I am trying to fool them by posting a fake or Photoshoped coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I have pointed out before, In my opinion, I have ruled out all forms of PMD that I know of and that is on the multitude or reference websites. After all of the analysis that I have done and now have explained I can only assume that it was something incused on the die. I am not saying it is RPM or in fact that is a second &quot;D&quot; but it appears to me that the origin was from the die and not &quot;unintentional PMD&quot;.</p><p>The &quot;magical error&quot; is a bit over dramatic and it is statements like that that can be insulting to others or myself however you want to take it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
