1960-D/D Unable to locate RPM, Early Die Stage? No Chips or cracks

[erex01]

I hate to bother everyone with another one of these but I've been searching VarietyVisty for no less than an hour. I know what it isn't, but can't ID this coin. I think it's a pretty early die stage as there are no chips or cracks, i'd be shocked if I missed one. I've got a ton of pics but don't want to list them all. If you want to see any portion of the coin, let me know. I've found a couple that look close but either the MM isn't correct or the die markers just aren't there. I'm hoping someone can just recognize it, I'm pretty sure someone can.
I "think" that I know what it's not:

http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%202/RPMs%201960D%20(1-60).htm

RPM-001 – NO Very similar but my mm isn’t as far out, also no other die markers. Mint mark just doesn’t look the same. RPM-001 is just more pronounced.
RPM-002, markers don’t match up
RPM-005 – Closer but no match
RPM-006 –NO
RPM-007 – NO
RPM-008 – Northeast but NO
RPM-008 – NO
RPM-021 – Northeast but NO
RPM-022 – NO
RPM-024 – East but no
RPM-025 – NO
RPM-026 – NO
RPM-027 – NO
RPM-028 – NO
RPM-030 – NO
RPM-031 – NO
RPM-032 – NO
RPM-037 - NO
RPM-038 – Close but NO
RPM-039 – NO
RPM- 043 - NO
RPM- 045 - NO
RPM- 046 – NO
RPM- 040 - NO
RPM-048 – NO

We're you able to look at/compare to all 170+ listings?

Oh boy! 1960D LD's! What did you think about coppercoins 1960D-1MM-018? Does your MM have a vertical bar West of the MM?

[erex01]

Found it, Thanks Viv. Coppercoins is a MUCH better site for locating MM's. I was searching varietyvista for quite a while trying to locate die markers. I now know where to locate RPM's LOL.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, If I'd checked that site, I would have found it right off the bat saving me an hour LOL
I knew there were a lot of them but didn't realize sooooo many....WOW

So which RPM is it?

Coppercoins is a MUCH better site for locating MM's.

You will find each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Yep, figured as much as soon as I went to coppercoins...I've been there before but forgot about how it's laid out.

You're welcome Jim! Does it match coppercoins 1960D-1MM-018? That's just the one I thought looked close.

I can not be 100% sure, your pics are a little to blurry for me, but the strength of the secondary MM and the MMs location yours looks like CCs EDS 003 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=eds which crosses to VVs Stage A 003 http://varietyvista.com/02b%20LC%20R...960DRPM003.htm

Sorry I didn't get back on this. It was the Imm-003 or RPM-003. Jim, I honestly wish I could see what you are seeing "Blurry". I truly don't understand it. I look at the pic that I posted and it's clear as I can make it on my end, my wife even agreed? I can clearly see small defects in the field. I bring up my original post and it looks good? LOL Not sure what might be happening or why it's blurry on your end ?? Wish I knew, I really don't understand it because it really is clear for me??

I may be needing to get a new pair of coke bottles My eyes got real bad last year...Also I zoom in when I am looking at the images... I can see more that way... On yours date/MM image I zoomed in to 200% and it was blurry... The images will be blurry any way just due to the wear of the dies... The dies will become convex in shape making the coins concave... When getting pics while one part of a coin is in focus other areas will be blurry unless you use image stacking software, as I do, to get the clearest possible pic!!!

Image stacking software? I've heard you guys talking about that. I assume that's how you guys do the overlays? Whats the software? Just curious?

Image stacking is using more than one image to produce a clearer image as the final output... Each image is in focus at different areas... When the images are stacked the image has much better clarity... I stack from 3 to 5 images... The overlays are different... The top image used is made into a transparency and laid over the bottom image... For the stacking I use Helicon Focus and for the overlays Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10!!!
