The 1943 D rpm goes for about $10 - $20 in this condition. I would say it sold towards the high end. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $5 (if I was ever to pay for one.)
I think you were probably lucky you didn't bid on it. I don't believe it's an RPM, at least the pic isn't big enough to tell and looking at the sellers other auctions I certainly wouldn't take his word on it. I wouldn't be buying RPMs on ebay if I were in your shoes Enochian. You need to be able to ID them yourself which means having real good close ups of the mintmark that you can compare to examples at a site like Coppercoins. Absent that you need to know that the seller is legit and trusted.
It doesn't appear to be a RPM to me either. Anytime you have a RPM and "doubling in the 9 and 4" date, you should strongly suspect MDD. Why would anyone even think about bidding on a photo, you can't even see. Jim
And the thing is that it isn't the real diagnostic for the D over D. The underlying D should be to the west and not the east for the RPM of this date. This one is die deterioration.
thanks i didnt plan on bidding any ways i dont like pennies that much was intrested to see if it was real thanks again
Hmmm, new error classification Ebay doubling: To make a large snipe bid and win an item that isn't worth it causing a big jump in the final sale price.
There are 2 shown in CPG, but coneca has 20 different ones in all different directions. But as I said above, I doubt it. Jim
