PM sent to wrongnumber. And Mrz I have plenty of 1961-D to deal with right now! I bought about 35 rolls of the things from a guy's closet for two bucks a roll. Most all are really nice coins, but oddly not all from the same mint bag. After finding that rolls with all those RPMs I figured surely there'd be more where they came from, but no. While I still have hope and some 25 more rolls to go through, most rolls have been fairly unique dies with just one set recurring and not much in it. So far I have pulled out: RPM-001 stage C (x2) RPM-001 stage E (x1) RPM-004 stage B (x9) RPM-047 stage C (x7) WDDO-005 (x1) and two likely new DDO dies. A minor extra crossbar of the last T in TRUST and an odd one that looks like a spiffy doubling of the last 1 of the date but could be a gouge. |

The more rolls I pull out the more I find. The box is mixed with 1960-P rolls, but I separated them and still have 31 rolls of 1961-D to look at even after going through a bunch last night. End results as of last night add: RPM-012 (x1) RPM-037 (x1) RPM-028 (x6) another likely minor new DDO doubling on top of L in LIBERTY |

RPM-001, FS-501: 29 RPM-004 48 RPM-010 1 RPM-016 1 RPM-020 1 RPM-038 1 RPM-047 47 RPM-048 5 WDDO-005 1 poss new RPM 1 poss new DDO 3 And that's the story of the closet full of 1961-D rolls. Anyone want to buy any rolls of 1961-D cents? Left a lot of split serifs in there for the next searcher as it was enough to hit the easy to figure out stuff. |

Take your time selling the 001's. When the market is flooded, the price drops fast. Mix and match 4 RPMs for $XX. Make the selection so you can farm out the better RPMs with some less desirable ones. that is how I would do it.

Yeah, I just tossed up one nice one to get started trimming the herd, but I am going to start doing more group sales with RPMs as they are too time-consuming to photograph for the couple bucks they sell for. I want to make them available to collectors as I know from experience how hard it is to find non-major varieties you need for your collection that aren't worth anyone's time to photograph and sell. Maybe the 4 at a time thing would work. But yes, can't let them all out in a hurry.
