They are really nice, But what is S/S/S mean?

 

The mintmarks were punched by hand back then, and the S/S/S means it's an " S over S over S, punched 3 times.......

Also called an RPM or Re-punched mintmark. Others are called OMM's, Over mintmark , like a 1944D/S, where the D was punched over the S.

Many people collect these varietys........some of them are really scarce and command quite a premium

 

My unlce has a Hinkley and Schmidt water bottle I think its around a 5 gal. It is filled up to neck with pennies. I have been looking at that thing since I was a kid. Its got to be over 30 years old. I know it only have cents in there.....Wonder if I should make him an offer. At least this way Im saving him from having to go to the bank...........

 

Go for it!!! I'd be chomping at the bit to get my hands on that puppy!!! :thumb:

 

NICE!!!
Oh and gen. gold., you should go through those lincolns ASAP!!!!

 

Even if I do get them.....im still really new to the whole cent side of things....It would take me about a year to go throught the whole thing looking for the different varieties that are out there......maybe longer

 

Send them to me and I will help!:whistle:

 

Just seen 3 of these this past weekend. Neat RPM, congrats on the grades too!

 

JIm, were they graded and did they any prices attached. I am haveing no luck on pinning down a value on these coins.

 

NGC has graded only one (the one I have) MS67, and they have graded 4 MS66, including mine.

 

OCO, I will look at the next show for Mike and talk to him. He is the one that has them. none of them have been graded by a TPG and I dont believe he has them up for sale at this point but I am sure he has a handle on value. There was a small write up about one of them in this past weeks Coinworld actually by Ken Potter.

 

I was told today that he thinks... around 500.00 for them. Thats just his opinion though. He hasnt sold any nor are his slabbed.

 

$500 !! WOW lol

 

1955 s/s/s

$500 sounds pretty good but for now I am hanging on to them. Thanks for checking this out.

 

dang.
got a close up of the S/S/S?
