<p>[QUOTE="atrox001, post: 310093, member: 1338"]This RPM is from a 64D Kennedy Half Dollar. It is listed in the Wexler Files as WRPM-007, D/D/D horizontal and north, but not listed by CONECA. I and a couple of friends are trying to figure out what happened to create this RPM.

Then punched in a north-south D. After this they didn't like what they saw and then they sanded away the two punched D's and scratch, leaving remnants left, north, and a scratch in the middle. Then they punch in the primary D over their mess leaving a 64 D/horizontal D/D north, with a scratch in the center…any other ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank You,</p><p>Larry Nienaber[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
