1954-S Possible unlisted RPM

[rlmillerjr]

Hi Folks, hope all is well in Lincolnville, here is a 1954-S that looks like an RPM to me, I took pics of all four angles from the light and one directly above, I did not see any thing that was close to it on coppercoins or variety vista nor wexler, what do you folks think about this one, thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.....

[rlmillerjr]

Well I found another just like it so i do think it is an
RPM for sure now, here are 2 pics of it... Thanks Folks!!!

Can't tell if your MM is closer to the date than this one, is it? http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1954SRPM006.htm

[rlmillerjr]

I think mine is closer to the date, hehehe, sorry for the antiquated analogy, thanks Viv!

[VAB2013]

Okay, thank you! I thought it looked closer. We need to pull that photo off tho... copyright law thing. Can you remove it?

[rlmillerjr]

okay, sorry about that, didnt think about copyrights, thanks again!

[VAB2013]

You're welcome, no worries! Looks like you've got a nice RPM to me, Congrats! Guess we'll have to wait for the pros to chime in

rl, I like your pics!! What do you use? Thanks, Larry

This appears to be a new variety not listed on coppercoins or Variety Vista. I think it is worth listing. Great job!

Yay! Awesome job spotting this RPM! And Congrats for the new listing!

You can start by emailing John Wexler at jwex@comcast.net (http://jwex@comcast.net) and also send him a link to this thread and some photos

Then he will direct you from there, but you can also see his information on how to submit coins here http://doubleddie.com/402401.html

Please give us updates!

I agree with Larry, your photos are very good! Will your AmScope take a full coin photo?

No it will not take a full pic, thats one of the draw backs and I wish it would.

here is one that is zoomed out, but still not the whole coin and less magnification

Thank you Richard for the info. Well it takes darn good close ups and really that's what matters the most when trying to attribute varieties!

Way to go... Just think after 64 years you are the first to discover this RPM... AWESOME!!!

Firstly, let me say that I know that this thread is nearly six years old, but since I see that the OP is currently posting and I don't see that the issue was resolved I thought I would comment.

Not sure if the OP sent it in to Wexler [as Viv suggested] to be attributed, but if not (and it is still available) then I believe it to be a mid-to-late stage 1mm-15 (https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1954&die_id=1954s1mm015&die_state=mds).
