I'm not sure but I took the liberty and blew up your picture for others to judge .

 

Thank you. I'm trying guys

 

possibly on the second one? Kinda hard to see. Do you have a loupe?

 

Hope that helps

 

That was with a loupe

 

That's the sharpest I can go with the two 72s

 

Should I do the tape trick to see if there both raised

 

Variety Vista 72 d rpm looks really close

 

Looks like an RPM to me, I'm not an expert on these by any means tho, so wait for more opinions... this is just my 2 cents

Good job checking varietyvista. Which one do you think it resembles? RPM 003 looks close but I don't think that's it based on your pics Remember, it has to match EXACTLY. Not Close. Not Almost. Not "I really want it to be". EXACT.

You mentioned in a previous post that you worked as an engineering tech. Use that same objective approach when comparing potential varieties to known examples.

Not sure on that first one. I need a clearer photo. But it might be the same RPM at a different die stage or perhaps took a hit in that general area. Hard to say.

 

It doesn't necessarily need to be exact. There are die stages. So a die break or polishing marks might have happened later. Or more have flaws have appeared since the time the one on variety vista was struck.

I agree with Kevin, looks like 003

 

Okay I believe the 2nd pic matches the 72 d/d west rpm 003. And I believe the 1st pic its between 72 d/d southeast rpm 002 or west rpm 006. But they do match for a rpm error.
