rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 05/28/2011 09:34 am Bought a mini-hoard (12 rolls) 1956-D OBW LWC and they had avg ~2 RPM-1 per roll. I love finding these hoards, especially when they have little treasures inside! I kept the nicest OBW rolls intact for my "permanent" roll collection.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/28/2011 10:17 am It is probably the first RPM that new collectors find. I know it was mine. I bought a bag of 1200 circulated wheat cents. I searched the bag and found a bunch of junk the first time. I didn't have anything interesting/worth collecting. My mentor suggested checking again. So I check all of them again and boom, there it was. I was so happy I found my first RPM. He suggested looking a third time and I found two more the next time around. My eye hadn't picked up what I was looking for the first time around, and started developing the second/third time around. All three were different RPMs. I've been hooked ever since. The Kicker: When I found the first RPM, I asked about value and they told me $2.50. I was happy. But then they told me a BU example would be worth 10X that. So that was my last bag of circulated wheats. I moved to BU rolls after this happened. (That was back when you could get many rolls cheap.) Now I just check what I can find.
