[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3678270, member: 77814"]Numismatics is *not* easy. You need to learn what an RPM is you need to learn what a Doubled Die is you, basically need to learn instead of just posting coins up on the board and hoping someone comes back and says you "have something". Just because the year and mint mark may be related to a real error, it does not mean that it is an error. And error is usually from ONE die. for cents, a singular die may last from 1 to 3 days for ONE machine (thousands may be used in one singular year). A mint may use 7-8 machines running concurrently to match production quota. Additionally, when a mint worker checks the coins and sees an error they try to trash as many as the bad ones as quickly as possible. So few real errors get out in the wild in relation to possible production numbers. Add to it, for a 1953 D it has had 66 years for people to find any error with it ... so that lowers the likelihood even more being found in "pocket change." that's not saying you won't find one. You need to learn the intricate variations of the 1953 D rpm ==> [URL='http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/RPMs%201953D.htm']http://www.varietyvista.com/02a LC RPMs Vol 1/RPMs 1953D.htm[/URL] Truthfully ... with fuzzy pictures I'm not going to bother looking. but usually, you write a list of all the RPMs for that year, and check off which one it definitely isn't from a visual check. Then start getting more granular in details (the other identifiers) to exclude or possibly include one particular type. search for yours in the above link [ATTACH=full]987676[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
