LINCOLN CENT 1961-D RPM D/D/D FS-501?

I have all of the markers from Variety Vista labeled with blue arrows in the pictures. I have all of the markers on this coin it appears right? It's probably another swing and a miss but man it looks like the FS-501 to me.

As usual.

Thank You In Advance,

Brandon.

The MM is in the wrong position. Yours is centered between the 9 and 6
The MM on FS501 is more under the 9.
Plus it doesn't have the horizontal D showing.

 

That looks like a totally normal D Mintmark

 

Sigh.... Man, thanks guys. I am stinking at this. Am I just overthinking it?

 

Not overthinking…under processing. Create a checklist to work through.

1. Does the MM have the proper characteristics ( split serifs, location)
2. What stage is the die?
3. What markers are there to match (paying attention to die stage)
4. Does circulation/condition obliterate markers or give the appearance of RPM?

working through the coin will help you to establish attribution. Good luck!!

 

At Least your trying

 

I’d say you are a newer collector. It take time to learn about coins.
