Eclark3 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 5:55 pm I've always collected coins. Love metal detecting. Just a few months ago I realized that many coins have errors but unless it's a real obvious error they are hard to see. I bought myself a microscope and started taking a closer look. My first find was a 1942 d/horz d nickel (pic below). Since then all I've found were coins with Machine Doubling.... Until today. I think... Are any of the coins below doubled... Or have a rpm. Coins pictured below not in any order; 1996 d half Dollar 2000 p Sacagawea 1964 p nickel 1972 d half Dollar 1997 p nickel 1984 p nickel 1981 p nickel I'm just trying to get a feel for what doubling actually looks like. And rpms. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 5:59 pm RPMs can't exist on coins minted after 1989 because they stopped adding the mintmark separately after that year. Check out variety vista for examples. If your coin isn't listed there, odds are it's not an RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
