1995P RIT

Found this RIT last night! There is only one 95 RIT listed on cuds-on-coins and the one I have may just be a larger version of it. I will send it JC so he can decide if he would like to list it.

When JC lists BIE's, etc. he needs a full photo of LIBERTY so I included that pic. I could not find any markers, mostly because the plating on this coin is rippled! What I thought might be a die scratch or the beginning of a die crack from the rim at R to the top of the cornice is just not convincing enough to me so I'm leaning toward PSD. Your thoughts on that are appreciated!

Nice find Viv!! I am amazed I don't run across the BIE's any more than I do but you have been on a good run!! For you marker, I say to the "A" is a scratch and to the "R" is a nice little crack.

Thank you Jon for taking a look! Okay, so at R to the top of the cornice looks like a slight die crack to you. It is weak at the rim and in the middle so I wasn't sure.

Yes, you can see the small bulbus breaks through the crack.

:sign10: it does look more like a ROT! LOL... thank you TPring! You know TPring, I really like this Celestron and sometimes I can get really nice pics out of it... and other times not so great but I guess it just takes practice!

Yes -- and your pics look good. From what I have experienced [and what you and others have probably already surmised], is that conditions can/do change with each coin and adjustments must be made to get it right.

That being said, usually I just get the quickest/easiest pic that conveys my message [whether good or not].


Kudos to you and the others that make the effort to generate nice pics.


Back to the Celestron, I think it is an excellent value and a good scope. My one hangup is trying to fine tune a picture on/near the highest magnification. The focus wheel will sometimes go to far or not quite far enough for precise magnification and it will 'jump' off to the side and I have to re-center the coin back under the lens.

So glad I got it because it has opened up a whole new world.:D


Thanks again for all the leg work in discovering/finding it.:)

Thank you TPring! I'm glad you are enjoying your Celestron and it has opened up a new world for you too! I have had the same thing happen with the scope jumping to the side during precise focusing at high magnification, not sure why it does that?

Nice find... I'm in with the crack on the rev... Your pic shows it well... Very well could be a later stage of 001 http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb6-1995/
