    1911S Possible RPM?

    I found this one in a batch of wheats I bought. It looks like it has a split upper serif. What do you think? CC VV W Thanks for looking

    The top took a hit but see what you mean. Nice coin otherwise though.
    Life is not about greatness but on the impact of good onto others. It is a matter of how much one shines. Explains why I like shiny coins.

      To me it looks like a hit but maybe "nobody likes me" will chime in.

        Starting in 1911, it appears that this mintmark style punch had a damaged upper serif. I see that "split" on all the RPMs listed for 1911, 1912, and 1913.

          Yup. That's part of the normal punch.
