Haven't seen one of these posted for a while so thought I would toss up some pics. This RPM really isn't one of the stronger ones in the series, but as FS-501 it is certainly worth looking for. This one was a cherrypick, and will go in to PCGS to get reholdered with the variety on the label. 1930-S/S Lincoln Wheat cent - RPM-001, FS-501     |

Nice one, but a bit surprised it made 65.

Thanks so much for all the super kind comments! Much of what I post is meant to be descriptive of real errors and varieties, and pretty hard for folks to learn if they can't see what's going on very well. Thus I do try to post solid images of the coins. I have an interesting coin to try and get the lighting right up next, and hopefully get that worked out and posted in a bit. Coinfrog brushes up against another thing I try to bring to the board a little bit, and that is the coin's grade. This one is right down the middle a 65, and would be amazed if any TPG would grade it differently. Good images are key to helping folks actually see what the minor details on the coin look like and why a coin would grade this way or that way. |

To me, the mark in the left obverse field, if as pronounced as it seems, keeps this at 64, and would on any modern denomination in my opinion.  |

Since it's out of 70...the couple of minor marks on the obverse is the reason this gets a 65...that reverse carries him...great strike with tiny hit on the N.
just a contrasting opinion...
I think he carries the grade "with" the attribution.

Well, maybe it's that my photos show every nearly microscopic flaw, but it's not even remotely close to a 64. But again, not really strong enough to go 66. I pulled a random PCGS MS64 Lincoln Cent from my collection and took photos in the same light as the 1930-S shown above. Here is what a 65 looks like (1930-S/S FS-501) compared to a 64 (1953-D & D FS-502).  |

TB - Your photo skills combined with the rarity of the coins you post are what distinguishes you from all other members on this board. Please keep up the outstanding effort. I look forward to learning more from your educational images and posts.

 Just trying to help folks know what to look for on the real deal coins. I've been time-crunched lately with a rare March/April bat project so haven't had much time to post things. |
