RPM? just wondering

[scubalou]

Just came across this '83 I think may be an RPM. What do you think?

Nah, just alot of damage.

I agree. I can't pick anything out that leads me to believe it is an RPM.

Sorry Lou but at the rate you are searching Lincoln's you are bound to be getting close to a nice RPM find! Also, I noticed your black background... I think black works better than white for most shiny coins but some times with an old wheat or brown Memorial, white or grey works well too. Just for practice, next time you post... try a maximum close up (helps with seeing RPM's). The zoom took practice for me but when you turn the zoom wheel toward the plus sign until it stops (and you see the lens pop out past the bottom of the housing) that is full zoom, but then you have to raise the height of the scope in order to focus.

Oh WOW! Thanks Viv: I had no idea this camera would do this. I can now see what I thought was a D inside the mm is nothing more than Verdigris. Here's a shot with the close up you recommended. I owe you big time. Double scotch.

Thanks for the new pic Lou. That one is significantly better than the others. Well done!

Excellent follow up pic... Makes a big difference on what we see... Eventually the zinc will rot away and that MM will fall out!!!

The new camera and Viv's tutelage made all the difference. God I live those Zincolns. lol
