1960-D Error or Damage?

[Dimenhigh]

Hello ,
I was wondering if wht you can see on the number "6" is just Damge or if this is possibly a die crack or some sort of error . Thank you

Die chip... How about a better pic of the MM. Just curious.

I think you may have an RPM there but you need a close pic of the Mint Mark in order to find which one it is.

Here a couple pics . Is the type of error you are talking about common for this year?

RPM's are very common for 1960...go to coppercoins once http://www.coppercoins.com/diesearch.php
There are 167 different ones listed.

Even thought the pics are a bit blurry (Still better than my pics... LOL) I still see what appears to be a RPM... It may take awhile to find a match on CopperCoins... Nice die chip also... Congrats on a nice find!!!

Just had a 1960 D/D Lincoln cent repunched mint mark and fortunately sold it on Ebay. Contragulations on a "NICE" find!!!!!

Since it is a 1960D small date check to see if you have any die clashes. You can check here for more info:

Thanks alot for pointing that out to me. I do believe this is a RPM & with these pics you can clearly see both upper & lower "serifs" are spilt (seen best in pic#3) So I think its listed on that site as "1960D-1MM-12". I was unable to find any trace of die clashes on this coin.
So does this coin have 2 seperate errors ?
Last thing I am wondering is about the inside tail of the "9" . It spilts into two seperate tails , is this just part of the "Die chip" with the "6" ?

[Maineman750]

The "split" on the 9 looks to me like it just took a hit.The clashes are a different error,yes. And yes it looks much like #12, but without better pics I won't go out on a limb.I actually label my 60-D RPM's just as "RPM" because I don't have that much patience with 1960.

Its great that you are trying to determine which RPM you have (the new pictures show it pretty well), but remember, you have a small date 1960 D and the 1MM-012 is a large date. Even though your RPM may look like 1MM-012 it is not. Keep looking on coppercoins. Hopefully it is listed there. I think what you are seeing on the tail of the 9 is a result of master die doubling which is on every 1960 small date.

1960D-1MM-127 is what I was typing & forgot the 7 at the end .There actually isnt a 12 even listed on that website (Are you using the same site or is there another one too?). If you check it you will see what seems to be the exact same coin . & I'm so glad just the past few days to have gotten 3 links to websites that I use daily now , I have learned more in the past few days about coins here on this site, than in my whole life

If by "hit" you mean some sort of damage , I can tell you that those two tails coming from the tip of the "9" are raised & extend from the 9 perfectly from larger base to smaller/sharper as they reach out . It is very hard to get a good pic of them sorry about that

[jfines69]

You are doing a super job on your coin here... As for the split on the "9" if you are unsure as to what it is you may want to send it to one of the attributers... They will check it out and tell exactly what you have... Your pics are pretty good but an in hand inspection is the only way to be sure!!!
