1989 rpm?

6 posts in this topic

So I posted this incorrectly the other day and edited the post and didn’t get any comments so since I’m still curious I’m reposting with what I think the correct variety is...

I’m simply trying to figure out if I’m seeing things correctly or just seeing things…

This looks like the 002/east variant to me am I wrong?

The d, position and angle looked right to me. 

 

Thoughts?

 

Here’s the full list:

Your coin can't be an RPM-002 as the mint mark is farther to the left and lower than that shown on Variety Vista for that variety.  You have to save and rotate the VV image so that the date is level to see this clearly.

So is the ridge on the right side of the D where I have the arrow mechanical/machine doubling?

Hard to tell, but more likely a plating defect since it's very localized.

"1989 rpm"

That is incredibly fast for a record...I thought 78 rpm was fast!
