1950 D Washington Quarter with Possible RPM

[Tigershore]

I am positive I have a pretty well defined RPM on my 1950 D Washington Quarter. My problem is the only marker I see is the die crack along the neck of George. I would call this a RPM Northeast but the markers do not line up. Is there a chance I have an EDS or LDS that has neither die markers? Any help here identifying the exact WRPM number would be well received and welcomed. Thanks in advance.

[MintErrors]

Markers can be short lived, minus die cracks. It also depends on the die stage, and when that coin was found and photo documentation was taken. As a coin becomes worn, it does get a little more difficult to get the die stage absolutely correct. It can be a complex issue.

Most attributors will either do an overlay, incorporating some of the other devices on the coin and see if the location of the mintmarks line up. Back in the day, they used to hammer the mintmarks into the working die so each mintmark location can be slightly different.

OCC probably nailed the attribution. There may be a vertical bar in the hole of the primary D. You can use the photo some tracing paper and a pencil to see if it might line up. Draw the primary D only. Then slide it over to the weaker D, and if it looks like a match, it prolly is.
