Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 6:23 pm folks. I just pulled this 1955 D (RPM) and when I went to look it up on Lincoln site, wexlers, coppercoins variety vista, I don't see anything close to this. Could I be onto something here? Please advise...Thanks so much in advance. There is a bunch of gunk around the RPM but it is still pretty obvious.I would like to clean this area up around the date and mint mark. Should I do? Should I send in for acknowledgement somewhere? Report this Post to the Staff

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 6:29 pm Maybe RPM002- Stage A for this 1955? I just see a bit more of the original D in the middle of the new D stamp. Look in the center if you wouldn't mind. Variety vista is slightly different that this one. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 6:31 pm Very nice RPM @chavez. Looks like it is listed over on varietyvista as 1955-D RPM-002: http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...5DRPM002.htm In looking at the diagnostic T in CENT, it looks like you might be stage A/B, but a clearer close-up pic would help.

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 6:36 pm Spence. There is no die break on the T. What you are seeing is a dent in the same area where the die crack would be. I'm calling this Stage A. I've soaked coins in solvent Acetone I believe. Should I do this so the RPM can be a bit more pleasing to the eye? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 6:40 pm Ok good to know--I couldn't tell if it was a ding or the start of a die chip. I personally wouldn't do anything to "improve" this coin prior to putting it into a 2x2 for storage, but many folks do like the acetone bath.
