Very nice! These RPMs are very difficult to find.
Out of 189 boxes I got one ea. of 1971-D, 1973-D, 1989-D, and eight 1984-D RPMs.

Thanks Earle42. I went in to pick up my weekly order of boxes of cents and the teller told me they got a box of halves in with the shipment and asked if I wanted them. I got them and found the Magician Coin, this RPM, a 1986 Commemorative half of the Statue of Liberty, and one 40%er. I didn't realize these were that scarce. Thanks for the info.

Since you like varieties, here is the total list of what I was looking fro and what I got got from those 189 boxes: Also eight total magician coins and 15 gold plated. (note: RD - Rotated Die)  Not sure why the 1908-S and 1942 do not have a 1 beside them! The 1994 Spiked nose listed is shown below. On the REV of this one is a raised "device" under the eagle. I labeled them as "molting eagles." I have never seen another reference to these anywhere. I just happened to find some.   The clashes listed could be quite heavy. In my notes I called them a Rhino Nose:   I miss roll searching, but my source bank would not let me do it anymore. |

Looks like you got most of your wanted list filled. The spike nose came up quite a bit and I especially like the rhino nose. I search mainly cents but now and again I get something different from my bank. Usually when they get customer wrap rolls in, they call me to see if I want them. I always get them, no matter what denomination. Too bad your bank shut you down, that would be discouraging. Thanks for posting the photos and list. |

It took quite awhile online and searching different sources to find the list I ended up with. I learned a lot about actual rareity b/c of this list. As to the No FGs, I am convinced all but the 1972-D, 1982, and 1966 proof are from the dies being polished. I saw one post )somewhere in all the research!) where one guy had said he had found many dates without an FG). However, I am picky when it comes to these. I want absolutely no trace of an FG. I have seen many slabbed ones claiming to be no FG variety when the initials are clearly there when you tilt the coin. Many sold on ebay are this way. |

I know what they are and don't fall for these. These are just die events. Give me a real variety. When someone tries to sell die events, they probably will find that they are a hard sale. But a known variety, you can't go wrong, in my book.

But I only kept the ones when there is not a trace of the letter at all no matter the angle/lighting. To me its like all the gold plated halves that can be found. I value them at close to 50¢ each. Its just somehow difficult to let them go. Same with the "no F" pieces. Fifty cents max. |
