1959 D thoughts?

It appears to have some type of doubling (though I'm not good at telling the type) and a clear line on the loop of the second 9? None of the others I've looked at have that

Have you checked coppercoins?

 

Oh and it's pretty lol.

 

heres a hint, its a RPM, and yes, with the inside doubling of the last 9, only found on one site, wexlers, the rest is up to you

 

? Ok... Will research when I get back home. Thanks for the hints still. Learning

 

RPM-003

 

I think we will need clearer pictures before making a definitive decision...I personally am not really seeing the telltale signs of an RPM, especially 1MM-021 (RPM-003).

 

agreed, if what he wrote, is what he seeing, then he mite have something, but not all die variety experts agree on this as an RPM anyways

 

So you're saying I could have a die breaker on my hands? LOL. If I can prove it is a RPM then what would it be worth? Even better what if I could set the record straight with just this one coin for everyone!? LOL. Just doing some research on this. Very controversial to say the least! I don't even know what to do with this.

 

Here is the link for RPM 003 like Rick thinks it may be:

I personally don't see it but could change my mind based on clearer/closer pics.

 

like non cents said take some better photos, and study the inside of that 9 with either coppercoins photo, or wexlers, either or

 

think they are referring to this http://www.doubleddie.com/311222.html

 

If it is THAT RPM-003 then I def don't see it.

 

thats not wexlers RPM-003

 

Yeah I see that now. I have to disagree with you though based on the pics OP has. I don't see any of that stuff sticking out of the 9 like in wexlers RPM-003

 

Lol... Even this post is controversial. Hahaha. I love this penny already. Ok.. So is it worth pursuing? Cause I don't have the magnification or camera to get the pictures to do justice of what I'm seeing. I'd probably have to take it to someone with a better set up than my loop and iphone set up I have. haha

 

Heres the one I'm talking about 1959-D 1¢ WRPM-003

Description: D and totally separated D punched into the lower 9.

Cross References: Crawford: CRPM-008, Coppercoins: 1959D-1MM-021

Top 100 RPM: Wexler

Comments: Not all die variety specialists agree that this is an RPM variety with some arguing that it is some form of damage. An overlay by Billy G. Crawford shows that the suspected errant mint mark punch does conform to the shape of the D mint mark. The viewers will have to orm their own opinions regarding this variety, especially if a purchase is being considered.

I got ya Rick. But where are you seeing that part sticking out of the 9?

 

I bought me a cheap-o chinese USB microscope for like $15. It isn't great by any stretch of the word but it does well. My avatar is my 72/72 that I took with the USB camera. Not too shabby.

 

I can't keep up lol
