<p>[QUOTE="Bone Head, post: 943970, member: 14057"]<b>Best deal?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]88951.vB[/ATTACH] Believe it or not this is a true story. About 15 years ago I purchased 3 rolls of UNC Lincoln cents, 1937-S, 1938-S and 1939-S. 2 years ago I dug them out and took a good look with my new microscope. Half of the 1938-S original, full red, UNC cents were S/S/S, RPM #2 -- FS# 016.5 ... If that wasn't enough about half of the 1939-S were RPM#2... Lately I have spent several weeks studying the 1937-S cents from the same purchased lot. Many of them are RPMs also, though I'm not sure that they are bold enough to be listed. One of the '37s that I am now studying, besides the slight RPM, looks like like it has a mint mark to the N.E. almost completely seperated from the main mark. OMG, you look like you are turning green.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
