Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 12:50 pm Hello everyone I have this 1957 D LWC that has an rpm but I am not quite sure which one it is. There are a lot of them for this year and they can look pretty similar. Any help with identifying it would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance. Also, on a side note I had a question about double dies and rpm's. Do they happen together? Like, can you have a double die and a rpm? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 12:56 pm First off the doubling you see on this coin is DDD, not a doubled Die, but that said, RPM's and doubled Dies are separate events. RPM's are caused by a mint employee stamping the MM onto the Die twice (a double tap - if you like) While doubled Dies are caused during the engraving of a working die. You have a nice RPM on this coin, but I'll have to go see if it matches any known reported RPM's. BRB. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 1:02 pm Well, This is the closest I can come up with.

Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 1:16 pm @dearborn I didn't think this one was a double die at all... I haven't been lucky enough to find a double die yet ... It was just a question that had popped into my head. Thank you for the info though! I am curious to see if everyone agrees with you on the rpm! That was one of the ones I was thinking it might be also. Again, thank you! Edited by Vivian410 05/16/2023 1:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 1:26 pm I didn't think you thought it was, I just mentioned it because you raised the question about DDO in general, I thought I would just supply the extra info. and I'm glad I could be of assistance. So! lets see how correct we are on the RPM.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 1:30 pm @Dearborn ah ok that makes sense! I really do appreciate the information... I have learned so much from just being apart of this community and I love it! Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 6369 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 9:08 pm It is an RPM but not RPM-013. You were close though, Dearborn. Until I did a side by side comparison, I thought you were right. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

I did the same thing you did Makecents, Which is why I said "Well, This is the closest I can come up with. RPM-013 from VV." I knew it was not the 13, just very close. I couldn't find a match at all, maybe this is a new discovery. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 6369 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 9:22 pm By the way, Vivian, there are several DDO / DDR combos out there along with doubled dies with RPM's. I think there are a couple of DDO / DDR's with an RPM too, a threefer, not very common though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 01:03 am @-makecents-That is really interesting. Sure would love to find one of those! lol @Dearborn I do think it is odd that I can't match it but with so many rpm's that year it seems like it would be possible for there to be a new one discovered. Honestly, I would be really excited about that, no matter how slight the rpm is. Do you think I should send it in to have someone take a look at it? Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 6369 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 08:30 am Vivian, can you do a nice clear closeup, about the same size as the pic I have shown below and make sure there is no glare in the area I have circled. Thanks. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 5:05 pm Hey my CCF friend, finding the correct RPM can be challenging. I have two complete rolls of obvious RPMS and can't match the correct number. I have gone through the complete list on advanced search in coppercoins.com no less than 5 times. With so many this takes awhile. Several have obvious markers like a cracked skull or die chip, Still no luck. The skilled members on the CCF have helped me numerous times, but I have become a bother. Several have told me to look it up myself. LOL the eason I post them is because I can't find it after a hour of trying. Months ago I gave up trying. If it's not obvious it goes into a tube. Good luck with yours. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 5:22 pm Hmm, a 1MM-19 is possible too. Are there any die markers that we can match up? Or is that why you are asking about that tiny die gouge in the 'N'? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
