1942-D RPM No Match New Maybe?

[rlmillerjr]

Hi Folks,
Couldn't Find a match on CC, looks like D/D/D, at least a D/D? What do you think on this one? Thanks in Advance!! p.s. pic with new scope, don't know if I like the pics, but in stereo scope view its awesome... I got to sign off, been up all night, , will read post later today, thanks again...

Not too sure of the mint mark location but it sure looks like RPM-005.

It is #5. Nice pics

here is one with whole date, it does match that line between 4 and 2, but I am seeing 3?

I don't think there are 3 mint marks Rich. It could be anything from circulation wear to an optical illusion. I am thinking the upper serif of the primary mint mark took a hit. It is not a split serif.

I am not sure it is 1MM-005

I don't know if this type of overlay is terribly accurate. There are many variables including the angle the photograph was taken at and the zoom. This could affect where your lines intersect.

Frankly, I don't understand what you are showing here. The blank areas are based on what? Your coin? A pic on coppercoins? A pic from somewhere else?

I did an overlay in PS of 1MM-005, the MM is in a different spot, this appears to be RPM-012 and not on CC yet.

Cool, do you know of any pictures, thanks very much!

It's on Wiles' CONECA RPM book 3rd edition disc. I don't see RPM 12 anywhere else. I can photograph yours in a few weeks if you send it.

I would think if the perspective of the photographs were different for the 2 images being compared; it would affect the accuracy of not just mine but any overlay method. Zooming – as long as the aspect ratio is maintained the relative positioning of the features should remain constant. I am the first to admit that my grid technique drawn with the precision of a CAD System is not 100% accurate. There are other factors such as wear/damage on the coin and shadowing in the image that may cause placement of the grid to very slightly from example to example. But these factors usually produce small variations and would be extremely rare if at all a difference on the scale exhibited between the OP’s coin and 1MM-005 would be produced.

I don't think it was so much the grid lines as to what you put the grid on. It is blank. Had you had placed the grid on the actual coin we were trying to compare it with, it would have been more convincing. Either way, it is not important enough to warrant any more conversation and taking over the thread. I am well aware that folks use what is at their disposal, ad if this method works for you, I highly encourage you to keep using it. Thank you for your explanation.

Does this coin have the die crack over VDB???

Not sure, but the coin is on its way to Jason

And now on CC 1MM-013

It's a nice RPM. Thanks for letting me photograph it.
