View Full Version : 1951 d mm

Five different coins with similar anomalies, i.e., split serif at top and bottom of the D.
None of these coins matched the year and mintmark of any I could find either in my library or on coppercoins. The nearest match would be 1951D RPM #17 D/D South, or CONE E-13. There are similar coins at coppercoins which are somewhat like these, 034 and 035. Again, the mintmark placement is not the same as these.
Let me know if you recognize these as being something other than the #17.
Thanks,
JeanK
Jean,
First off you are correct in the MM position. All 5 have different positions and rotations as far as CC listings are concerned. Perhaps Bob might give a little insight on the correct # these are. I don't recognize them as being the 017.

David,
The far left coin has a very different mm location than the other four. I know the pictures are not all level because I had to turn the coin somewhat to find the split serifs.
The differences is what is puzzling me. If I had not gotten the QX5 then I would not have seen these mintmark anomalies at all. Drat that Q.
Thanks for checking it out David.

Jean,
I can't place any of these based on the pics taken. A few of them might be too minor to list, but I think the first and 5th one are worth adding if they are new dies. In reality, I really need to see them all to do a proper attribution.

Many thanks Bob.
Maybe I should hire someone to get these squared away.
Know anyone?

I don't know if it is my eyes or the QX5 that's causing the fuzziness.

You'd need to see these close up because they are monor...
The first is very similar to WRPM-028 but from the pic looks to be a bit further to the east
The second ???
The third maybe WRPM-059
The fourth is WRPM-022
The fifth might be WRPM-038
