    Another 1915d Possible 1mm-001?

    Here's the other one. I'm less sure of this one. Also, please look between the N and E. Is that a die clash?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'll hold off giving you my answer.

    Instead... look at the position of the MM in relation to the date. Compare it to the 1915d 1mm-001 on CC.

    You will be able to answer your own question.

      Its hard for me to tell because the photos are diff sizes.

      Is the ratio of the distance from d to 9 vs. d to 1 different between mine and CC's?

        What also makes it rather hard and the fact that your original photo is angled, not square. Makes one want to tip their head and that is always a problem in making a determination of MM position.

        Here are the two photos squared up

        Draw a line straight down from the left side of the second 1 in 1915.

        Are MMs in the same position or is your riding a little more to the right? That would be alot of spread made up because of the wear. Its like a lot of early minor RPMs coin need to be a VF. A G or VG will not cut it.

        Also it is a tilt RPM. I do not see any of that. Maybe beacause it is worn down. I cannot make out any reverse diemarkers in your photo. Is it being photoed in a 2x2?

          Nice example Wheat. It's more East.

            I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

            (My dad used to say that.) I held up a sraight edge against each photo, and it became obvious. Oh well. By the way, do you see what I see between the N and E?

            It looks like a die clash to me but I cant imagine whence it came.
