I&#039;m sure you fully understand the minting and die making processes since you have been telling us of your expertise in Numismatics, but in case others are unfamiliar, an RPM MUST MATCH EXACTLY.&nbsp; Close/almost = DONT HAVE IT.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.doubleddie.com/887255.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.doubleddie.com/887255.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.doubleddie.com/887255.html</a></p><p><a href="http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/RPMs%201943D.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/RPMs%201943D.htm" rel="nofollow">http://varietyvista.com/02a LC RPMs Vol 1/RPMs 1943D.htm</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you think you have a discovery piece, have you sent it Wexler or Wiles at CONECA for inclusion in their database? </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, you said you&#039;re RPM was appraised.&nbsp; Can you tell us by whom, and if they referenced any of these known examples or has Bill Fivaz has assingned it a new Cherry Pickers number?&nbsp; Also, <u>many </u>RPMs outside of CPG varieties are only valued at a few dollars unless someone is trying to scam a newbie on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>RPMs share many of the same characteristics as doubled dies.&nbsp; Wexler has lots of info in the various tabs that explains these. The following is are good examples.</p><p><a href="https://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Larry, you have me confused. I see NO evidence of any split serifs.&nbsp; In addition, I see NO curved widening Of the mm that would be expected from an extra punch.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even see the flat, shelflike characteristic that is common for mechanical doubling (not considered an error).&nbsp; In fact, I see nothing but shadowing on the D as well as the 4, and a little on the 3 in the date.&nbsp; All I&#039;m seeing is shadowing.&nbsp; And as you know, when you look at enough reprocessed steel cents, shadowing from the replating process is a common occurrence.&nbsp; On a related note, Here is a pic from Wexlers site that shows abrasion doubling (from a worn die). Also note the split serifs are shown in the secondary mm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1525813[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=108784]@LarryLove50[/USER] could you please explain the lack of RPM characteristics on your coin.&nbsp; Many of us would love to know how this could be an RPM even though it shows no fundamental characteristics. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, I apologize if you&#039;re upset because I&#039;m &quot; not respecting &quot; your numismatic knowledge.&nbsp; Just consider this info for others who want to learn.&nbsp; Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
