1961 D LMC RPM?

[PNWMAKES]

Found this 1961 D LMC That looks like a RPM. I have spent the last two nights Going through all the RPM's listed on Variety Vista and Cooper Coins. The closet I can match is 1MM-112, WRPM-060. But they don't match exactly. It was a struggle to get good pictures. Any ideas or thoughts?

It is surprising that I can't go straight to this one on the site(s). It is definitely an RPM. I will continue to search, but there is always the possibility that this is a new one.

Thanks for moving the post. And yes normally I can match them up pretty good but this one is giving me fits.

Two things that may help... one The sideways photo, the very last one of the 1st set. It looks like there is some die scratches relatively close to the date. Those may aid in identifying which one this may be.

At first, I thought it was RPM-33, but the photos are just a tad bit too much glare in places. I suggest adding a small amount of sheer fabric around the light source, or just cover the photo area with the sheer fabric to cut down on the glare. A tip about fabric, subtle small movement of that fabric, can make a huge difference in the photo. It aids as a light suppressor, but can also enhance the outer rinm area of the mintmark or other area in question as well.

This past week, I took some RPM photos from 1959-1964. I may have one or two that are close to this, but I am guessing at best what the lower portion of the coin looks like. I don't normally like put non-related photos on another's post, so I may PM you any that show a potential match.

Thanks Mint will try sheer fabric and look forward to seeing your pictures.

Well, all the 61 D`s I took photos of, the mintmarks are off, most are centered or more eastward of yours. I looked through several other rolls but haven't found anything really close. I have about 7 more rolls to look over, and it will take some time. IF I find anything close, I will message you.

Any chance of another photo ? I am interested in the lower serif of the D mainly.

I have been messing with lighting using sheer fabric, but I am using a $60.00 usb microscope so will try again later tonight and will post any results.

Okay after some trial and error I think I got some good or least better pictures of the lower serif. Tried sheer fabric and just could not get it to work so used good old Charmin TP. Close up pictures of UNC coins is a challenge.

woops forgot to upload images, well they were in the right orientation but when ever I upload them they rotate back.

Tomorrow, 01 June I will check a few more rolls to see if I have any. I will confess the odds are gonna be pretty slim that I do. Nice photos, I can clearly see the blower serif without issue.

Could it possibly be a new one?

Could it possibly be a new one?

Absolutely. I hope it's a new one!

I have 3 new ones, I am waiting on a reply from Jason C, then I will probably send them off. I would like to have them slabbed and available for September, but in this case, the variety side eats up many weeks. Average TPG slabbing of varieties is close to 8 weeks.

It's been a whirlwind here, i have been super busy. I will see if I can get thru a few rolls of 61Ds this coming weekend. I think I have 7 left to go.
