NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 01/09/2024 2:32 pm 55 S is a tough find. With an RPM to boot and in great condition too. Trifecta! "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 01/09/2024 10:22 pm Very nice looking coin. RPM-001 is one of my favorites. I search 55-S BU rolls in hopes of finding them. Yours is a better than average looking specimen. Checking markers, can you determine which die stage it is?

grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 07:42 am I hope I was able to answer some of your questions. Also maybe some of the more experienced guys can tell me their opinion of what stage we have here. Unbelievably there were six in the roll I will unload them at about 60% of ms-63 coppercoins value. They are all in good shape and I believe half are easily better than 63. Opinions are encouraged! Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 12:23 pm Well, it's not EDS, it has no die chip in the left wheat lines, and the obverse die scratches are showing die wear, so it is probably Stage C.

Here is where I always have a hard time. If there is a die break or chip how does it disappear without changing the reverse die? so a chip should occur later down the line. I thought polish lines come and go. I know others can help me with a simple explanation? Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 2:40 pm You did answer your own question. The reverse die was changed. Report this Post to the Staff

A given polish line can't come and go. If a die is polished, and then many coins are struck from the die, the die polish lines will start strong and then wear. They may disappear completely when the die is polished again, to be replaced by new lines, which wear from there.
