1958d rpm?

[Gunnovice09]

It looks like split upper and lower serifs but I can't decide I it's an rpm or not. Couldn't find a good match.

Definitely an RPM you have there, nice find. :)

Thanks Simon it's my first wheat rpm! I brought my microscope to the local coin shop and looked through their half off bargain bin. Cost me 40 cents.

Wow, they let you do that? I don't know if any coin shop around me would have the patience for me to bring in a microscope and look at their coins in the store... :LOL_Hair:

I sat there for like 2 hours searching lol.

A 20X or 30X loop will do the same thing, and won't p-ss off the owner. Keep looking they are out there..

The owner is who I asked and he didn't care and my microscope is small so I wasn't taking up a bunch of space and the bin is out of the way.

That is awesome. The only coin dealer I have locally is the Pawn Shop. He does not have any bargain bins as I do not think he buys to many collections. I imagine that he is mainly buying silver and gold. He does have a few binders with various single coins available but he is asking to much for them in my opinion. I have wanted to look through them with my loupe but every time I go in a look at the coins...A staff member stands there hovering over me. I do not want to stand there searching and take up their time.

They just went about there business the whole time I was looking.
