    51 rpm 1 or 2?

    Here is a good won to discuss. But keep in mind I think and so did the members think that this coin was dipped in a copper bath to make it look like it was brand new. With that being said can the RPM now look deceiving?

    It doesn't look like RPM 1 or 2, besides, your MM is in the wrong position to be either of those two. I'm not seeing an RPM at all but it could be the angle of the pic. Is there a possibilty of taking a pic head on and not at an angle?

      That is my problem with ones camera. My last post I made a statement saying "a picture is worth a thousand words, but they can also be deceiving as well." This is the hardest thing to do when one is trying to make something appear by forming close ups with a camera that is not really capable of performing such tasks.

        I totally understand Chris. A straight shot might be more revealing to what is actually there. The angle shot is not showing an RPM. At least not to me. Even if it were an RPM, I guarantee that it is not CC rpm-001 or 002. Wrong position for either.

            It is not rpm 1 or 2. Hard to tell from the pics if it is a different rpm. Remember that it must match the Coppercoins.com picture exactly.

                Have you looked at RPM053. MAY Be close. Let me know what you think. I am not a pro on these types.
