Opinions wanted.....Is this a RPM? ANSWERED.

I don't know if I should send this to Wiles or not. Need some input. Thanks in advance.

Looks more like a die chip to me.....
bob
I was leaning that way myself.
+1
looks like it to me as well, fwiw
I think I see very minor split serifs (not significant enough to warrant RPM designation) but I agree with the die chip consensus.
Me thinks it's the elusive rare/unique S over sideways S over CC over D.
Later, Paul.
It looks like die chips in the lower portion... and discoloration in the upper section of the S....Cheers, RickO
...mmmm chips...salsa, guacamole, and queso with beautifully fried wedges of corn tortilla...Mexican blackbird trail awaits mi amigos
Jon- I'm not the expert in this area but IMO I would save your $$$$. Nice coin.
I bought it because it's a nice 06-S which is a better date.
+1 Nice find @DIMEMAN
agreed

What I am seeing inside the lower S does not appear to match any part of an underlying S.
Could it be an S/D ?
I looked above and below the left curve of the S and see no indication
of the vertical imprint of a D. So i would think, as has been said that it is just an
artifact or chip in the lower loop of the S.
This is seen often on 50's era S mint Lincoln's.
Thanks for your input. I tend to agree and will use this nice Dime as a regular 06-S.
As a side-note DIMEMAN, when I saw your coin it reminded me of a 1950D I found in an OBR about 20 years ago.



I was trying to grasp what I was seeing and I ended up sending the coin to one of the coin guru's to look at.
It was returned to me with the note that it was just die marks/gouges and nothing else.
Well about 5 years later I saw an image of this same coin by the same person listed as a new RPM.
Just goes to show you that guys like us have to look and we have to be persistent when we get that gut feeling
That 50-D cent looks more like a RPM than my coin by a lot. I think the guru messed up there.
I just went to close the folder DIMEMAN and noticed the next file pic I had was a 50S with very similar marks to your 06 S.
I had determined mine to be artifacts also just like yours
The next pics were a 51 S that is a true RPM.
Good examples for any newbies looking at this thread as both you and I could spot the differences easily but newbies could learn from this.
Real RPM
Thanks...good stuff.
