Is this the die. I beleive it is but the MM seem's out of place, futher West. I know I've had this problem with MM placement, maybe it's my scope and the angle I'm looking at it. Thank's.

David

Overlay places your coin farther West, just a bit. Save distance south from the date though. So close though. Any markers that match? Looks like you left your room light on when you took this image? Light from 12:00 and 4:00. You might try another image without the other light and see if it changes the location of the mint mark?

Thank's Coop,

I'm still having lighting problem's. When the sun is up I have don't have that much problem with the light. When the sun goes down the lighting becomes much brighter. Strange I know. These picture are at dusk. I used a thicker filter to cover the light.

The die marker to the West of the tie are running SW. The marker's on the site are running N to S.

David

I beleive this is another from the same Die. The marker's aren't present on this one. It too seem's futher West but with the same extra MM to the West of the Primary.

David, I checked the site, and it sure looks like the -016. Congrats!

David: That is the images you want. Just like that. Don't change anything now. When you need to have a light on when your taking images, try the facial tissue and tape to block the unwanted light or a piece of cardboard between the coin and the light source to kill the glare.

But the third image, (The nice one) is even farther West than 016 or your other coin. Make me wonder if a bad punch might be to blame with so many of the same exact looking RPM? Something to ponder. Keep setting them aside till we see if that is a possiblilty. Let's see what Bob thinks.

Thank's Coop,

I will keep setting them aside. I have more than 2 with questions.

Thank you again.

David

It has been determined that this particlar die (Die-016) is probably the result of a defective punch, and is not an RPM. It will be de-listed from the coppercoins files. The pics will stay there, but the narrative will change so that we can use it for educational purposes.
