Rock,

Nice RPM there!

I think it's 1MM-010.

LOL... Bob beat me to it as I searched 8 pages Wink

The giveaway to ID it for me was the barlike section on the top that you arrowed to in the second pic.

Thanks Bob & Eagames. I think there is a lesson learned here for me too. When I was looking at the coin, the mint mark in particular, I did go thru the CC listings but didn't see the obvious match. I'm thinking it was in the way I was looking at the mintmark thru the loupe. So, when I finally got around to photographing the mintmark, I didn't bother to rescan the listings trying to match the rpm from the photo. If I had, I would have found it easily. Next time if I am having trouble IDing something at first, I will use a blown up pic next to help attribute. There just seems to be more clarity and detail in a magnified pic than thru a loupe sometimes.
Thanks again,
Rock

Rock, depending on your setup, you can also use the video out from the camera, to a TV, for a larger image. (I should qualify this a bit. I use the camera/stereo-zoom scope combo, and can vary the size of the image on the TV, or another screen, so it compares with ther one on the site. Then I use an artists grid to position the MM with relation with the date. The same thing on the TV, or monitor.. Then it is a case of checking for the markers given). I'm sure there is a simpler way, but for my needs, this works.
