    1957 D Over D RPM Confirmation


    I had to work a while on CopperCoins to match this 1957 D Over D RPM up. The closest match I could come up with was 1957D-1MM-002 / Wexler WRPM-002: "A rather nice secondary image can be seen to the Northeast of the primary mintmark, and split serifs."
    The only two marker matches I could make were the long die scratch running through the 1-9-5 of the date and the die chip and distortion on lower wheat grains on the right wheat stalk (EDS Markers).
    I hope I got this one right!!

    Well, judging by the pics, the location looks good for 002. But we'll have to take your word for the markers as the pics aren't quite focused enough to see that scratch.

      That sure looks like 002 - that's a hard to find RPM. Nice find!
