1950 S RPM?

[dinkyblue]

Looks like an RPM, not sure which one. I was able to match a die gouge dot over the S in STATES on the reverse with IMM-001 however, nothing else seems to match. Position of the mint mark does not seem to match either. No die cracks. Hoping someone might have a idea on this one. Thanks................................... dinkyblue

Definitely an RPM and definitely not 001. Looks closest to 1mm-017.

Nice find... Looks close to CCs 018 http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diest...&die_state=mds Not sure on the position of the MM... Yours may be rotated farther CCW than CCs but that may be die wear on yours as it appears to be a LDS and CCs is MDS... Some of the abrasions around your MM and CCs sample are close... Also on the rev there are some die scratches running thru the E of STATES that appear to match up... Yours also appears to have some die scratches running N - S thru AMERICA and STATES on the east end that are really close in their position!!!

I looked at IMM-017 and the MM position did not appear to match, IMM-018 is closer as far as the date and MM position. Also the scratches on the reverse are close as Jay pointed out. But still not conclusive. I put IMM-001 up only because the die dot in last S in STATES matched mine, but the MM position for IMM-001 does not match. More info would help. It is an RPM but which one?.........................Thanks for your input................Dan

Can you get some closeups of the areas that CC shows on BERTY the area north of the 19 and the areas around USA... Try to frame the pics the same way if possible!!!

Yes, loading new images.........................Dan

I see 2 possible markers on yours that are really faint compared to CCs 018 http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diest...&die_state=mds Off the NW corner of the 1 in your date is a die scratch/abrasion running nearly due north and it is also there on CCs sample... Also on the rev due east of the A in RICA is a series of scratches/abrasions running SSE - NNW the one that runs up just west of the SW corner of the E in STATES appears to be on yours... The one on CCs sample is just west of the scratch/abrasion the arrow is pointing to - to the south of the E... Check it out and let me know!!!

There are some features on IMM-014, have a look at the line on the rim just off of LIBERTY. die misalignment? then compare to mine. also look at the C and A in AMERICA on the reverse. The die scratches are close, and so is the MM position on the date. Not really sure about this. Please let me know what you think. Thanks....................Dan

I believe your MM is to far south and west to be CCs 014 http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diest...&die_state=mds Also the split in the lower serif of yours is farther toward the bottom of the MM... The die scratches on the rev are close but are in a slightly different position!!!

After checking all the listings one might say that IMM-018 is the closest match as far as I can tell. I think this one might be an earlier die state as it does not show a lot of die scratches on the obverse. However the reverse does show some pronounced die scratches. Hard to say...........................Dan

Sounds good to me... These can be difficult at times to attribute... The dies can change a lot over their life... Previous markers can be worn or abraded off and new ones put in place!!!
