Here is 1956-D RPM#12. There is a lot going on with this RPM!

Picture perfection! For those who don't know, mastering shots like THAT may be harder than finding the coin itself. Excellent, Ray!

Thanks duece2seven! It has taken me a while to get set up for these shots, and I'm finally making progress in documenting varieties...

Here is an interesting one...1956-D RPM#5 in EDS. This is an RPM of the type that exhibits stronger secondary mintmark(s) in later die states. In this early die state case, both the upper and lower secondary MMs are very subdued. Usually the prize is the early die state RPM as they generally show the strongest secondary mintmark(s), but for RPMs like this one the later states are more sought after.

Definitely not one of the more popular varieties for the year -- In fact, even with these superb (seller's) pics nobody else even bid on it.

Seller's pic even shows the prominent temple die scratch marker from CopperCoins

DDO-006/1DO-006; Class II [IGWT]



*edit: unfortunately, the pics lost some sharpness when converted onto the site

Thanks to you ( and Coppercoins) I just learned about the temple die scratch.

Weird that the 6 has the same missing chunk as some of the business strike dies.

Amazing Photography it is!
