1943 S Steelie RPM..? S/S/S SW

CRH4LIFECRH4LIFE Posts: 849 ✭✭✭✭

The last loops in the S at the end looks to be split? With the tail of another s joining into it at sw. I checked the big 3 reference sites and no such luck. I am not referring to the ghosting or strike doubling. Just to what I described. Side note when I was searching online a few or more of the listings strongly resembled strike doubling to me... Is that just me or are some of those actually RPM's ( Maybe this is just a whole lot of damage or a very well placed hit) Thank you for everyone's thoughts.

    Looks like secondary strikes are to the right and down. But what do I know. Peace Roy

    There is some machine doubling on the date, however, the MM does look like an RPM... Cheers, RickO

    I can't tell if it's notching on the bottom serif or a soft hit. The rest looks like machine doubling.

    Looks like notching on the serif. It is an RPM.

    OP, did you go to lincolncentresource or varietyvista to identify which rpm?

    I checked douboed die.com copper coins and variety vista, only resource I did not check was lilcolncent. Agreed on the machine doubling Aka strike doubling I knew that at least! It sure looks similar to a split seriff but as you all stated I am unsure my self if it took a soft hit

    Talk about a lot of crap spelling. Sorry everyone my keyboard on my phone does not agree with my thumb's often

    Compare it to this one, which I had posted here previously:

    Similar enough to be related?

    Strikingly similar although I did a over lay and they do not match up. I originaly thought they were struck from the same die just a different stage. My mm seems to be a bit higher up north and closer the the 9 then tour's. The mint mark's are very similiar but not the same? I will post a pic of a side by side as the over lay is tought to see and a quick scrappy program on my phone.

    I could not see any marker's to match up either from both our coin's
