Had an extra hour late tonight after packing for my next run. Found two of these in a roll. The other is probably MS-64 pushing 65 and this one is MS-65 pushing MS-66. 1959 D/D/D (southeast, west) Lincoln Memorial cent RPM-001, FS-501 Stage-D    Edited by tropicalbats

Do you know what is my favorite RPM for that year? 1959-D RPM-009:  D/D/D/D. |

Thanks all! But not sure I'm back yet as already today I drove 9 hours to Michigan and unsure I'll have time for coins again anytime soon. My summer schedule changes radically nearly every day, so maybe I'll be around again for a bit, maybe not. Tomorrow I drive 9 hours back to PA so maybe another day at home before next thing.
And yes, this one will get graded, and maybe the other one as well. For this variety it seems that roughly MS-64 is break even for grading and above that worth it. MS-65 is going around $80 so can't see not grading this one, and if it goes 66 then a fair bit more value although honestly would just go in my collection if it grades 66 as it would be an upgrade for me.

Wow, very nice find. I have noticed with this pandemic and coin shortage I am seeing more older coins. Mostly LMC and Jefferson nickels. Again, Very nice! |

Oh yes, the coin shortage. I haven't gone to my bank and asked for a box of pennies lately, but wonder if that is even possible anymore.

Got this one, and the other one mentioned above back from PCGS today. Got this one right, as it went MS65, but was far off on the other one. It went MS66RD and is now the main plate coin for this variety on coinfacts.
