    I've got two 1943-D/D Steel Wheat Cents, but I'm not exactly sure of the value of each and what number RPM they actually are. I don't know a whole lot about these CONECA die varieties, so all help is greatly appreciated! :)

    ... This one shows very strong strike doubling in the date and you are able to see the bold RPM at 5 o' clock next to the original mintmark. Also, I saw a similar example that had a bid of $20 on eBay, but this one is in much higher grade (The eBay piece was a low AU with damage). I am also fairly sure this coin does not qualify for grading (or only "Details") due to what I believe is corrosion or PVC damage on the obverse and reverse.

    Number 1: I beleive it is just Strike Doubling. The details in question are clearly flat and do not have any rise whatsoever.

    Number 2: Looks like RPM-008 D/D Southwest

    So as far as value goes, no premium for the first one and you could probably get $5-10 for #2.


    BTW, my RPM specification numbers are based on the Wexlers guide.
