RPM or MD

[Guest]

What do you all think RPM or MD, it looks real close to 1987D-1MM-001. The reverse die scratches match on CC but not the obverse. I am leaning towards MD.

Looks like 1987D-1MM-001 to me. Weird that only the obverse markers match, but I would say you have one.

EDIT: After seeing what everyone else has to say, with the wrong MM position and flat doubling, I'll change my answer to MD. I guess it KINDA looked like it on coppercoins, but determining an RPM from just a picture isn't the best way to determine one.

Because photos are a terrible way to analyze a coin, I would be inclined to say MD. As to not matching markers on the obverse but matching on the reverse could just mean a different die state.

What led me to believe it might be MD is the primary mint mark seems to be a little smaller than the secondary. It is shifted west on the top but is level with the bottom, correct?

Actually, I am changing my response. You analysis of this MD sound correct to me.

Edit: I was changing what I intended to post here. I am not changing my mind. I still feel it is MD. I was just going to analyze why I felt MD but the OP beat me to it. Way to analyze your own coin Paul.

Look at coppercoins for the other die markers for a 001!

Location does not match 001...I'm thinking MD but these late 80's fool me a lot.

I did, and all I could match is the horizontal die scratches under both sides of the memorial. The marker on the obverse, ( a vertical die scratch in front of lincoln's forehead) is not there.

The 001 on CC looks more like W/SW to me rather than just W. The one in the OP is more W/NW in my opinion.

This one would best be looked at in hand against a known copy of the RPM, and maybe an overlay. I am thinking it is MD, but I have been wrong twice this year already!

[Paul]

Is this one worth sending in Bob, or maybe just better photo's?

If you question it send it in. I'm pretty sure its MD though.

This coin is flat and shelf like. MD. Position is not right for RPM#1 - MM-001 either

Thanks Eric...I thought it was pretty obvious except that everyone ignored my comment
