1983 D definite rpm not on CC ATTN:BOB

[wheatcents]

i have to say that there is no doubt that this is an rpm what do you guys think

[Wheat Cents]

At first look I'd say yes. An RPM and a strong one. You should send that in.

Its stronger than 1983-D WRPM-015 in D/D West pictured in Volume Seven Number 1 ( March / April 2005 ) of "The HUB."

[wheatcents]

is this variety lested anywhere in your references?

[Wheat Cents]

There are at least 15 in the Wexler files . That WRPM-015 D/D west was the last one I have record of. The others I know of are either tilted or CCW RPMs. Not the case on yours.

Again I would send it in.. ( in alphabetical order) Bordner, Crawford, Piazza or Wiles

Looks like an RPM to me also. I know for sure it is not on coppercoins, but do not know if it is listed anywhere else.

[Wheat Cents]

Here is a good guy to send it in to. ( mustbebob )

Maybe you'll credit on CC for the coin.

[wheatcents]

and i just sent that other coin today D**nit ha ha ha

[mustbebob]

If you want, you can send this one now, and I will return both of them together after the attribution.

[wheatcents]

[mustbebob]

Knowing the post office, they will both get here at the same time.

[wheatcents]

From the image looks to be MDD.

A couple of things bother me. First, the flow lines are continued from the field into the secondary image. Also the the secondary image appears flat and incomplete. While some repunched mint marks are not complete, one this strong should be complete unless the punch was at a tilt. And lastly, there is no notching to be seen on the mint mark. Once again, with one so strong, this should be a feature easily seen.

I believe it to be tilted machine doubling, which is commonly seen.

However, this conclusion is based on the pictures alone and as we all know, a coin in hand may tell a different story.

When I get the coin in hand, I will be able to tell what it is as well. We will let you know what it turns out to be.

Looks like the real thing to me.

I hate to be the skeptic here but that looks alot like machine shift. The serifs are un defined and the pull is correct. I will agree it doesn't show up real good in his full date pic though. Interesting!!! Do you see the same shift on any other points on the OBV?
