Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 520050, member: 1242"]Andy, First, the Primary "D" on the OP's coin is rotated slightly Clockwise while the MM on RPM-002 is rotated slight Counter-Clockwise. Second, the Primary and Secondary "D's" on the OP's coin are perfectly parallel with each other in respect to the vertical bar while the Secondary "D's" vertical bar on the   RPM-002 is rotated slightly Clockwise in relation to the vertical bar on the Primary "D". Third, there is much more separation between the Seconday and Primary Mint Marks on the   RPM-002 than there is on the OP's coin. Fourth, on practically all specimens of the RPM-002 with the exception of EDS specimens, the middle two-thirds of the vertical bar on the Seconday Mint Mark are weak to almost non-existant and unless I mis-diagnosed the OP's coin, it is a late MDS or LDS specimen. Now to the pictue of 1953-D/D that you posted. Is the coin suppose to be an RPM-002? I ask this, because if you compare the pictured coin to the  RPM-002, you can see that the pictured coin is not an RPM-002. I looked back through my RPMs and found that I actually have a RPM-020 besides the RPM-002 and RPM-021 that I already noted. Unless they are   mis-attributed, the OP's coin is none of these. The only thing left to conclude is that it is an RPM-029 or new Variety! Frank[/QUOTE]
