Sorry I only have one pic. Did an overlay and matched well with 162, but also fairly well with 63. It does have the skull crack as does 162 MDS shown on coppercoins, but what's up with the vertical line next to my 1? This would certainly be a good marker. Is it 162?
Doc: The date digits on the coppercoin site and your coin are missing. It makes it harder to do an overlay with out these. The date could be rotated clockwise and it would be hard to tell for sure where horizontal is? Without this information the location of each example would be a guess.
On your coin the RPM looked very large on the lower serif. But I think it is a contact mark on it. Hard to say on this one?
The mark on the 1 on your coin? Is that a scratch or a hair/lint or something else? If it is a die scratch it might help to identify your coin.

It does kind of looks like a gas bubble.Did you try pushing on it and see if it moves?

It is a die scratch.
It is a die scratch.
That would be a good marker then.

More pics. You can clearly see that this took a hit to the SW corner, but you can also see that it has split serifs. Extra pics were taken to match those taken on coppercoins for -063 and -162. Only one that kind of matched was the horizontal skull crack on -162.

Here's one of the overall date and MM.

Kind of a bump, but I also think that this might be rpm-074
http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1960&die_id=1960d1mm074&die_state=mds
The description reads "A CCW rotated spread shows in this variety as an extra serif at the top and an extra vertical bar tipped across the lower left corner inside the primary mintmark." I see the tipped vertical bar, the overlay matches well (at least the part that is given), but what's more is the overall look of the mintmark matches mine very well. I also found a small dot below the F (although faded) as shown on coppercoins.

Here's a pic of the FG dot, although it's not exactly in the same location as listed on coppercoins. Saw something else on this coin - can anyone tell me what this is? Lettering near the rim (SW of Lincoln).

Found another one of this same type. Picture included. Same marker next to the 1 in the date. Still can't identify, but overlays well with 63 and 162.
