        Ok, there is a rpm, on the 1 in the date. I can not tell from the pics if you have it there or not. Check to see if you have a rotated reverse. I take some pics of mine for you to compare it to.

          It looks like Pictures 1 and 2 - Reverse Die Crack (Break) Error coin

          Pictures 3, 4, 5 - Obverse looks to be struck through grease or debris. Error Coin

          Hope this helps.

            Correct me if I am wrong but if it is in the date wouldn't that be called repunched date. Not a RPM.
            I know of at least 7 different Snow for that year.
            Snow 2 - Double Die REV 1-R-IV
            Snow 14 - Die gouge obv
            Snow 1 -Breen # 1964 / repunched date 1 and 5
            Snow 1 -Breen # 1966/ repunched date plain 5 over fancy 5
            Snow 3 -Breen # 1967/ Repunched date 1865
            Snow 4- repunched date 186
            Snow 2 misplaced date 1865
            and there is another that is not snow
            repunched date -1 and 8

              Can you post some close ups of the date and the rev? I can see you have a very light off center strike. No value for that, to minnor.

                Yea frank my fault it is a rpd, and yes they are all varieties of the 65, but you can exlude all but the one i said and the ddr, [very minor] every one of the others is for the fancy 5 or a combo with, not the plain 5.

                    You sure it isn't just a minor mis-aligned die, MAD?

                      Correct me if I am wrong. Mis-aligned die would only be on one side. off center would be obv and rev correct. I see a small off set on both sides. I didn't do a over lap to be 100% pos.

                          Yes you are correct.

                            What does the edge of the cent look like? Unless something was wrong with the die the denticles were struck properly and it looks as if the cent itself had shifted during the strike...
