1969 S Possible RPM

This is another one that has some signs of being an RPM but there is not references on CC. I think it is a stretch, but I would like to hear your opinions on what you think. Thanks.

It's interesting. I vote it's an RPM. It seems to have the remains of a former S, but it could be the lighting. :dunno

I just happen to have a roll of BU 69-S on my desk right now...and can see the same thing on many of them...if it is an RPM, it's too minor to list.

"Too minor to list". I love that term. I think many years ago they listed everything as I have seen many rpm's listed that didn't show this much detail. I like those varieties that show two distinct letters, or you can at least see that there are two without reading a lot into the mark. Those that have a microscopic notch and a little line on the mm. Don't get me wrong Roger, I agree with you, it may be too minor to list, but frankly I think there is a lot of them too minor to list that are listed. I am not saying the profession graders and attributors are wrong, they have a very tough job, but there must have been a period of time where they listed everything. Just a personal opinion. Good luck with your 69's.

Lighting and bright coins - what a pain. That is why I try to take pics with different angles of light instead of just straight down. I do have a small portable light tent I should be using but I don't have a place to set it up right now. I use it when taking pictures of my faceted stones, which seems to have taken a second seat lately do to coins. lol I think you can rotate bright coins to show just about anything you want when taking pics. Any flaw in the surface causes those mirror like reflections and one thinks they that a real good one. Shut off the lights and use a light from the side or indirect or diffused light one can usually tell of there is really something there or not. Mostly not. lol
