<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3563579, member: 15199"]Real RPMs are somewhat rare, but circulation and/or damage intentionally and unintentionally done is much more common if you look through the threads here. For every 1 real RPM, there are 5-10 that are called RPMs that are just 'ugly' due to grease, dings , and people's Pareidolia. Judging a RPM on a coin that is near uncirculated or better is easy with a good scope. On a circulated coins with a lot of dings it is hard. All 3 of the ones shown fits " wear and damage" more than a MM as punched by the worker. IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
