1972-D, Lincoln cent new RPM

[wavysteps2003]

I like this one, for I am pretty sure that it is new. While it does appear to be similar to CONECA's, RPM -007 or -008, the mint mark is just a bit to high (close to the date) for those two RPMs. But, I'll let you all be the judge of that.





Another interesting attribute about this RPM is that it appears to be a triple "D" for there are two distinct bottom notches. Again, both CONECA and Coppercoins, do not have such a listing. This is coupled with the MDO (die scratch in the R of TRUST die) and looks to be an EDS coin.

I agree that it is indeed a new RPM for the date. You are correct in that the mintmark is too far north to be 007 or 008. The spread is strangely similar to those two though. As far as it being a tripled RPM, I would probably say it may not be. It has some of the attributes of the damaged punch(s) that was prevalent in that year. I would expect that I would need to examine it more carefully, but something tells me it is not a tripled RPM. Either way, it is a very nice solid RPM for the date, and a new listing to boot!

Looks like a West from what I can see. D/D. Just what I see anyway.
