Nice find. I had the one in the image years ago and it turned up missing. I looked for years and bought a second one, then of course, the first one turned up.

Just one more if you guys don't mind. This is off a 1943p. Does it look like doubling? Sorry I'm a rookie.

Much better right side up! Nice find on the RPM...looks to be in pretty good shape! I was going to tell you to make a separate post for that second coin but I see you already did. Happy Hunting!

Hard to say from the image supplied. Glare ruins shots of shiny coin images. You need a diffuser to cut the glare, but still give you light. Something between the path of light to cut the glare. A plastic grocery bag, on layer of a facial tissue, a sheet of typing paper/two depending on you light source, rice paper or ECT. The cut the glare. Just don't get it too close to the light source if the bulb is hot. Also rotate your images to horizontal of the devices you want to show. On full coins align it with the LIBERTY and Date. On the word "GOD", rotate the coin to show these letters are horizontal. This helps a lot. Also have your light at 12:00 for most images. Don't take images with the light source hitting the coin where it is doubled. If there is glare, the light washes it out. I try to rotate a doubled die show the doubling has the light fall over it, showing the doubling as shadow. This makes it easier to see.

Note how the light source is coming from a direction that is not doubled, leaving the light/shadows to fall over the doubled die. After taking these images, I always rotate them to horizontal. That is what works for me.

I try to keep one coin per thread. So if someone was searching for you coin, a 1943 and did a search, your coin would not come up. They would have to remember that it is under the 1954-S search. So you might want to start a new thread to put pictures on.
