    1962 D MMS-007

    I don't think that's the only one known now. What do you think ?

    Well, we know every coin struck by that die will have that MMS, so there must be others out there. Any "rarity" is mostly just because nobody is looking for it. For whatever reason, collectors just don't seem to interest themselves in these MMS variations. I've breached the topic before and it's usually met with stony silence and crickets chirping. Post a common die chip though and everyone goes bonkers! lol. I don't get it. I personally think nobody should call their date/mint mark set complete without all of the variations, so I personally think these are important issue varieties. Anyway, to the coin at hand, I just can't tell on your coin for sure because of the shadow to the south. It looks possible, but I need another picture to give you a confirmation. I sure hope you have one there!

      I agree completely with what Will says. This one i just not getting any notoriety so I suspect there are many out there but just not a lot of folks either know about it or are looking for it.

        It 's the thrill of the hunt for me. I took a quick shot there are a couple of Die dots that show. It may just be a coincidence too. Thanks.

          I think yours is MMS-006... Yours shows the indent on the bottom of the lower horizontal and the serif points downward... MMS-007 appears to bump outwards then rounds upward making the serif point upwards!!!

            With the new photo, I am in complete agreement with Jim. That's an 006. Those new eggnog bottle lenses are working just fine, Jim!
