rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 2:03 pm Is this quarter FS-501 RPM? I am comparing to these two CoinFacts images. https://d1htnxwo4o0jhw.cloudfront.n...gPv2QeWQ.jpg https://d1htnxwo4o0jhw.cloudfront.n...81877801.jpg Edited by rlu7732 05/09/2025 12:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 2:37 pm Very nice pictures but I do not believe it is the FS 501, because I'm not seeing another serif (North RPM) as depicted in this listing.... https://www.varietyvista.com/09b%20...8SRPM004.htm Edited by coin rejector 05/08/2025 2:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188153 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 2:41 pm Looks like WRPM-003 (FS-25-1968S-501) to me. https://doubleddie.com/1237787.html 1968-S RPM-002 on VV... https://www.varietyvista.com/09b%20...8SRPM002.htm Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 3:42 pm I don't think it is WRPM-003. The OP's close up shows the top of the secondary MM farther north.

rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 3:43 pm Thanks for the replies. I looked on Coinfacts because if I send to PCGS, I wanted to see what they have certified as FS-501; however, the top three all looked different from each other. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 9:36 pm I will spend more time on this tomorrow but something is eschew. Different listings do not match, descriptions are different and of different pics I have looked at, the mm locations are different. Need some time to check this one out.... -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 12:10 am The OP's photos are of 1968 S, while the links posted are to a 1969 S. Here's the link to the 1968 S on VV: https://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%2...8SRPM004.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Mods, this title should be 1969-S instead of 1968-S. The pics of the mint mark is correct; however, the full quarter view is incorrect.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 09:43 am Well, this would explain my confusion when checking out listings.... So we are dealing with a 69S, correct? Here is a comp of the coin facts pics that you had links to and yours. The left pic looks to be RPM-002, the middle pic RPM-001 and then yours on the far right. Yours does not look to match ether. I think the reason for the confusion with the coin facts is that one gets an FS# for the RPM and the other gets the FS# for the DDO it is paired with, two totally different dies, as you can see by the mm location. I would add VV links but they have not been working for me when I download them on here for some reason, this has been this way for a week or so for me, not sure if it is this way for others. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 05/10/2025 5:04 pm Yep, I posted for the same reasoning -makecents- mentioned above. Given the coinfacts showed similar, I wanted to get other opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
