I don't know what all that bright yellow glitter is on this one, but it's a cool variety. CC VV Thanks for looking.

Thanks to Jim this coin is corrected to be CC's 1MM-047.

With permission from VV I did an overlay with 005 and yours does not match... Your MM is farther south and slightly west when I align the date, jacket and rim... Does your MM have the upper loop of a D in side??? It appears to have but I can not tell for sure??? Those gold specks are throwing me for a loop also... If you have split upper and lower serifs check out CCs 034 as your MM location looks much closer... If they do have splits then I will do another overlay for you!!!

Thanks Jim for checking it out!! I can't see any splits on my coin and I do have the upper loop. Also mine has the die break on the right upper crossbar of T in cent.

With permission from CC I did an overlay of RPM 047... Even tho yours does not show the lite split in the upper serif that could be obscured by circ wear/damage as your MM did take a decent hit... The upper loop and MM location match up in the overlay... Your rev die may be a different die compared to CCs MDS sample!!!

Thanks for all your help Jim!! If my MM lines up with 047 then I support your conclusion. The confusion I have is how cc's 005 rev die marker is on my coin. Thanks, Larry

Hard to tell for sure if your rev die is the same as CCs 005 as your close up is a little to blurry but the crack at the T looks to be a little thicker and shorter than CCs sample!!!

OK Jim and thanks!! Your eyes and dedication are amazing!! Thanks, Larry
