einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 08:40 am So, I have been reading these forums and trying to learn more about coin grading for my new collecting hobby. I have seen a many posts refer to a coin with "RPM", but I am not sure what this means. I know what it means back from the days when I had Vinyl records (yes.. I'm oldish..), but not sure what it means for coins... I don't see a reference to this in my " RedBook".. What does this mean, could you provide some examples, and why is it important? Thanks.

RPM,DDO,DDR,OVD,IDB, all these and even more abbreviations are the error/variety coins talked @ incessantly here. Many web sites are resources, my fave is Chuck Daughtery's http://www.coppercoins.com for RPM,DDO and DDR's, great pix & descriptions for the Lincoln Cent. The glossary here is helpful, also try the search engine for previously posted links. Just keep askin' & learnin'! Report this Post to the Staff
