1960-D LD BN 1C RPM/Die Chips

[Shleppodella1]

This one has some character. Split sherif in upper "D" & possible doubling in 6. Die chip on reverse Memorial stairs lower left (extra flower bed). Doubling on right carapice of Memorial. Die chip in LIBERTY in BE and die crack connecting to R.

Hello Shleppodella1,
Just FYI - this is a Small Date - not a Large Date. That looks like split serifs CCW. I bet this one is listed by Wexler but it would be ""Minor"" to Coneca if listed in the future. You can send us a message in the attribution part of the forum. We will respond there. One other thing. I would place a little more light on those serifs, right now it looks like the brightness in the center makes the mintmark dark around the edges. Since it's a split serif(s) the edges need to be seen.

The date on 1960 Lincolns suffer from master die doubling. The 1960 year for Lincolns had handful of issues. An interesting read, thats for sure.

The 1960 D RPMs on coppercoins is near 280 documented examples, with about 45 or so listed as Small Date RPMs. Most small dates are listed as WRPM 101 or higher. Just eyeballing the mintmark location will take close to an hour to get a general idea.

Eric is right, first thing is making sure this has split serifs and its not contact mark related.

So if you choose to take on this beast, the Welxer RPMs i seen as small date were..
101 through 110
111 through 120
121 through 130
131 through 135
151
164
169
205
212, 213, 214
233
256

The higher numbers on coppercoins ( e.g. 260+) dont differentiate between large and small dates. If this is a RPM, its gonna take a while.....

Here, I hope this picture is better it shows both split sherifs. I have no problem with doing the homework on this I just wanted to make sure it a actual RPM and not MD or something before I do go down the rabbit hole.
That MD is a problem for me still.
THANK YOU ERIC & GARY FOR THE HELP.

For me, when i try to zoom in with the tablet the photo pixalates and i cant tell if that is a split serif(s) to tell the truth. Maybe Eric eaxtellcoin can determine if its split serifs.

Typically the split serif looks like the tip of the mintmark was cut through the serif in one clean cut. Sure, bag marks and some damage can obscure the split serifs, but most times it can be clearly seen.

We might just need a focused shot centered in the mint marks vertical bar. I will see if i can find a 1960D laying around here. I do have to go out today so i can go by the storage unit to pick up a roll of 60Ds without issue.then i can take a photo of a split serif for compaison.
.
I know some photos on other reference web sites dont light up some of the RPMs enough. It is a bit of a pain when trying to find a match. But in the end the mintmark position below the date is key for an overlay and one of the first photos uploaded here is a good shot for an overlay.

does your possible RPM look even remotely close to this?
