Hope I am getting this one right. Found this the other day and thought I would post a picture.

When looking at the picture tonight, I think I see another "D" that I didn't see before. I'm going to find it again and see if I can get some better pics.
The scope I bought is a celestron and the LED's are on all the time giving me a glare that makes it hard to get a good pic some times.

If this is a rpm, I dont know wich one it is, I was looking at CONECA's listings but am still cyphering things out. I never knew about all the different varieties out there until I joined this site. I have been just throwing wheat backs in a jar for years and just started looking at them.

Thank's for looking.

Jeff-
That's how it starts. The next thing you know you're hooked. There is no known cure. You might as well just join the Lincoln Junkies social group (http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/group.php)now.

I think that you are looking at "post mint damage". It looks like well places bumps and scraps to me. It is difficult to see with your pics because they are shiny. Try tilting the coin, or using less light, or changing the angle, or not using a flash.

I recommend .. Do not look to close at a coin.

What ? you say...

A very experienced variety hunter who had a "good eye for spotting die varieties once told me .. "Do not look to close at a coin. Go with your first hunch".

After one gains experience peering through a loupe over many hours and learning from others does one begin to understand what he meant.
