I have no experience with rpm's so I am turning to you guys for opinions. I can't tell, what do you all think?  Edited by Sudz

Your welcome, and congrats. Now you know what to look for. My first RPM was the 1953-D #1. I will never forget that day. It changed my life forever.   |

What an awesome coin, is this the root cause of your study and expertise in the world of variety and error coins?

That is the one that go me started and hooked. I have taken the dive head first in learning as much as possible about what causes these gems and collect as many as I can get my hands on. I am a nut for RPMs, but do like doubled dies, just not as much. I have really bitten off more than I can chew with RPMs. I am attempting to complete sets of the CONECA Top 100 RPMs, the 150+ 1959-D, and the 150+ 1960-D. I may never finish any of them, but I am having the time of my life learning and teaching and collecting, with the occasional sale on my website.

For me the joy is in the hunt and the finds. Oh shoots, I almost forgot. Sudz;congrats on you first RPM. Edited by DrDon

wow, who took those images on coppercoins? Coop, you are such a riot. How many Lincoln Cent varieties are you credited with discovering? |

I didn't discover it. I was just a micro photographer for coppercoins for a time.
