Cherrypickers only shows the -003. Based on the written description this is the CONECA RPM-001 but I can't seem to find any pictures to confirm. I didn't google deeply but I did spend a little time looking. Anyone know of a CopperCoins.com equivalent site for Mercs?   |

Here's a very similar RPM but in a '45. This one is in Cherrypickers, FS-501. CONECA RPM-001. I'm ~1/4 through a tub of average circulated Mercuries and have found maybe 10-12 minor varieties so far, plus most dates and mintmarks (no, not the big one). Would love to find the 42/41 but my granddad probably looked for that one (and the 16-D) as he pulled them from his cash register way back when. Any exceptional coins would have likely been put in 2x2s and snatched up by the dealer after he died.  |

Please show some pictures of your minor varieties, I haven't find the elusive 42/41 over date either, have one in ANACS XF-40 slab which I bought many years ago. I found a 42/41 D in a bag of 1,000 APMEX bag bought last spring. NGC graded F-15. I thought it would grade at least a VF-20. I am glad you are interested at looking for Mercury varieties!  |

Great link! Thanks, macmercury! I've posted a few varieties over the last month. I didn't take pictures of all of them as I sorted tonight but at some point I'll take a batch of pictures. The tub doesn't look huge but those dang things are tiny, seems like I'm not making a dent. Fine with me though because it's fun and I don't really want it to end.

Hay macmercury, thanks again for pointing me to the David Lawrence blog. I'm reading "Tales from the Bourse" right now and it's very entertaining.
