Have you checked CC's site. I don't think you have an RPM but it may look different in hand. Check CC's site. John1  |

I've checked the Coin community website. and while I think it looks like those its going a different direction than any I see on there.... I added some arrows to point out the 4 serifs.  |

Yes that does look to be a good RPM. Just because it dont look like other RPM's that are listed means nothing. Check coppercoins.com to see if that one is already listed. RPM's are scarce in todays world of single squeeze Lincon cents. Heres one I found.  Edited by JoeyZ76

I checked copper coins and I can't find one like that either. so I guess it leaves me with a question.... if it is not like any others that I can find, how do I value it? do you think if I list it at .01 on ebay I would get whatever its value is or should I start it higher. what do you think? |

lets see a full picture of both sides.
As always,grade and condition are important.
Not a high dollar coin but should bring $15.00 to $20.00 if its not beat to death or corroded.

I'm not convinced yet that this a RPM. It maybe Machine Doubling. If the top of the mint mark have lines on the mint mark it may be metal displacement. Here is an example: Here is an example of one I found a few years ago. Several in that roll had the same Machine Doubling:  The lines on the devices and mint mark on all on the bottom. Can you see the striations from the movement of the die on the lower areas in question? That is a sure sign of Machine Doubling damage. A better image of the OP coin might help. I seen this before from different years. Seeing images of the tops of the date devices might show what is going on here? Edited by coop

To be honest, I thought it was MD when I first saw this coin. I'm still leaning MD on this.
coop is right, seeing the rest of the date will help.

Just my opinion. It does not appear to be a RPM to me. Usually a good diagnostic for a RPM is the separation or notching of the serifs. From the pictures you provided...it looks like Die Deterioration Doubling. I do not see any separation or notching of the serifs. Just my opinion though. If you determine it not to be an actual RPM. I would pull it from the Bay. No use in taking the chance that someone will purchase it and give you a hit if they determine it is not an actual RPM. That is completely up to you. I never list an item on the Bay until I know if the item is truly what I list it as. Lets see what some of the others say. |
