I have a question for all the error people out there. So, I tried to evaluate a coin this morning and could not tell if it was the FS-901 . Does anyone have a real example for me ? For those that are not familiar , There are two reverse design varieties found on 1969-P, 1970-P, and 1970-D Roosevelt dimes. The first is the correct reverse design intended for the dates, called RDV-001 by CONECA. The second, called RDV-002 by CONECA and listed as FS-901 in the Cherrypickers' Guide, was originally intended to be used on the 1968 proof reverse. Here's a PCGS example. Can you tell ? What if it was a FS-901 and it's somewhat worn ? Look at the torch . It's enhanced . That's the only evidence I can find . Please help. Maybe I can start a dime search for one instead of those nasty Pennies .
So you are willing to waste ridiculous amount of time and probably drive yourself to insanity? I don't know the answer and I don't want to know!
Why would somebody spend this much time looking for such a minor detail? My eyeballs would literally pop out of my head by the end of the y-... nope HOUR
Nasty pennies?! Tired of looking at them!? Shocking! I don't think I will ever get tired of looking at pennies.
Sal, the RDV-02 was the standard reverse 1971-1980 for both Philadelphia and Denver mints and for proofs 1968-1980. I started collecting the 69, 70, and 70 D variety shortly after I saw the listing in Vol 5 of the CPG. I was able to find a full roll of each quickly... therefore I question the rarity. They may be rare in high MS condition. I still find them regularly now. As far as identifying them in worn conditions, they’re easy as it takes lots of wear to remove the groves. Just look at any 71-80 dime.
I have a 1970 D dime that looks pretty unusual. I would like help figuring out why it looks the way it does.
Welcome to CT! Create a new thread with a title built about what you want (high level description). Post images and a reasonably detailed inquiry. Be sure to direct attention to what you are looking for at especially if it isn’t obvious. Photos of the whole coin, obverse and reverse in many cases and closeups of the items drawing your attention.
