‘87-D RPM Woes….

[Bassfish11]

It’s seems lately I’m coming across a lot of 1987-D RPM’s that appear to be repunched but I cant find an attribution anywhere.♂️ Take a look at the example I’m providing here. To me there appears to be a secondary “D” beneath primary but I don’t see a listing on either of the three websites(DD,VV,CC). Am I wrong about this example here being a repunched mint mark? I seem to find various 87-D’s I question why cannot find attributions. .

Thank you,
Don

Bob, here is our conversation you said you did not remember about the 1987-D rpm possibility I may have found. Re-read what you wrote here on 7-15-22 and perhaps take a second look at the pics I sent you of the single rpm(not the group of D mintmarks). What do I need to do next to try to get this 1987-D attributed?? How do I send to Jason or should I? Thanks! Don

It certainly looks like it could be an RPM, Don. I am a little concerned by the lack of sharpness of the underneath anomaly, but it does look promising. The problems with the 1980s RPMs was the plating issues on cents all during this time frame. There were many, many 'possible' RPMs that were not listed, and we wanted to wait until another example could be found without all the cracked plating or bubbles. This one may in fact be one of them, but it would now be up to the VV attributer to make that call.

Bob I have separated out several more we need to take a look at. Many of these have split serifs and protruding secondary mm’s but no attribution. Take a look at these 6 I’ve marked with arrows. I have 8 more I’ll send in a subsequent email. These are all 1987-D’s I have set aside because I could not attribute them. Let me know what I need to do about sending this to Jason. He’s yet to even acknowledge my email I’ve sent him on MA quarter doubled earring. I’ve already sold on on eBay for $39.99. Asking $59.99 on the second. We shall see♂️

Thanks Don

I don't know what's up with Jason not replying. He is terribly busy though. Have you tried emailing him directly, or only through this forum?

[Bassfish11]

Hey Bob, I emailed him from my gmail account directly…not here. I have no doubt he is swamped. It would have been nice to have gotten at least an acknowledgement that he go my email though. Once you take a look at those mint marks I sent you let me know what you think. Personally I think there could be quite a few 1987-D RPM’s that have gone unattributed and I believe there may be some right there what I gave you. Thanks Bob. Enjoy your weekend!

Don,
these all look like metal flow from a worn die. I don't see anything I could absolutely call a serif. Do you see an upper serif on the one coin to go with a lower serif? If not, I would save my $$$ and let these go. Bulges in these coins could be a late die state RPM or just could be metal flow and bubbles as Bob has said. These are tough without something like a serif to confirm.

Gotcha. I hadn’t given thought to a worn die causing some of what I’m seeing. There were a couple there I swear I see split serifs. Let me go take a second look. I appreciate your response Eric….
