    1943-S Steel Wheat Cent with RPM?

    I am wanting to know if this coin shows a RPM? To me it looks like one, but I'm not sure. There is a shadow S to the right of the primary S. Thanks for all the help and opinions!

    It does look like a RPM to me... The coin does not appear to have been replated either... I hope one of the RPM pros chime in!!!

      I uploaded his picture and blew it up. I put arrows around what he could be seeing but i'm un convinced. I do not think this is an RPM. It does not have serifs - I think this is an overworked die - Die Fatigue.

        I agree...and you can see similar doubling around the date on your pics

            I think I can pick out what your seeing Steve to the east but it is still not strong enough to make a determination. I will stay with the first thought. If your wondering if this is RPM#4 - it is not, the position of the primary mintmark on your coin is different then RPM#4.
