First off, this is not the best example and I almost tossed it, probably should. No matches that I can tell and this one bothered me for some reason, so I took some angled pics too and I'm not so sure it's just deterioration and maybe slight MD.
Sorry Jon... I'm not much help on these 80's RPM's. If I found this one I would have to do exactly what you are doing - post it! Just looking through Coppercoins' listings - if I had to pick one - it would be 1980D-1MM-001 because of what I'm seeing at the upper serif of yours (but the MM might not be in the correct location - I'm terrible at that).
I don't know about this one yet. I have to go through a half roll of 'maybe's' I have for the date. I have seen this before but can't remember what I decided to do about it.

Thanks for checking it out Viv!! Nothing looks right, as far as the listings but I'm not sure if it's even an RPM, just looks a bit out of sorts. We'll see what Bob comes up with here.

Thank you Bob!! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. The straight on shot looks good but when I started getting angled shots, I wasn't so sure.

Can I download your MM close up and do an overlay... I know I 'm not the pro here but I think I see why Bob is not sure??? On the inside of your MM south edge is what looks like the junction of the inside vertical bar and lower loop of a secondary MM... Just not sure if it lines up correctly with what looks like the south edge of an upper serif on your primary MMs upper serif???

The listed 1981-D's are just a bit stronger then this. Does it have a split lower serif? That is how the other 80-D's got listed - both serifs. I cannot tell you haw many of these I threw back into change years ago going through rolls. I personally never figured they would be strong enough to list..

Thanks for checking it out Eric! I took a multitude of pics and these were the best I could come up with. The only reason I even messed with it this much, was because there were so few listed. I cannot definitively answer your question about the lower serif but want to say it shows slightly in the angled pics. As I said earlier, a horrible example and I should just toss or put away until a better example possibly surfaces.
Yeah I see it Jon. My thinking and only mine. Not strong enough. That is from sending ALOT of coins in. It's ultimately up to you. I checked the boxes of the collection I bought a few years ago. Nothing past 1969 so I'm no help. Bob would be the one if Copper starts listing again...

Thank you for your help, I really do appreciate it. I just wanted to get some folks take on it on the forum, in it's condition, I would probably not send it in.
I found my stash of the 'maybe's' for the date and MM. On all of them that even remotely looked like this one, I had put 'Not listable'. I am pretty sure yours would fall into that category as well.

Thanks for taking time to dig those out and check them Bob!! That was kind of what I figured.
I tried the overlays and I could not make anything work... I am glad Bob checked out his stash... Along with Eric I can see why it's a TMTL (To Minor To List)!!!
