Keep in mind there are also 18 RPMs listed on Wexler's Die Varieties site, and it could be an EDS without some or all of the markers.  For this coin it appears to be a RPM, but I think there is too much wear and damage to definitively attribute that RPM as noted, and it wouldn't be one significant enough to be listed on NGC VarietyPlus anyway.

Thank you

Okay, I hope I studied this the best I can. Condition is a little better, but getting there the best I can. I'm pretty sure I might have a match.  By studying the markers for this variety I have the die chips on column 11&12. I tryed looking for other markers but can't tell for sure. Thanks

It's all good Hinkle. I think it is cool you got a wheat bag with so many RPM's. Most are beat up bad, but you can still put them in your stash. Did you get your bag through your bank? I know you were having a hard time with them before.

Hi JP, the banks around me won't let me buy unless I have a business. The bag of wheaties , I purchased from a antique shop. I'm thinking about going back and seeing what else he might have. But want to kinda look in the bag to see what condition there in before purchasing. 

Thanks everyone, I'm might have blown this out of portion, but seriously I'm actually working hard at this. I just keep studying, and researching to help me preced in the knowledge of coins. Different errors, varietys, and conditions of coins has a big factor with collector's. One day I'll be better to show that type of interest for most collector's. But until then, just having fun, and doing what I like.

 I don't think members here are going to entertain many more of your posts. 

If other members feel the same, I will gladly leave. For a few years being here i learned alot. There's quite a few members that constantly show's off there finds. I might be in left field somewhere but I pick up eventually. Now I'm sorta catching on , all the sudden I'm being treated like a few other's that the members had a problem with. I'm actually working hard at this. I really pray and hope I'm not a problem. I apologize, thought this was a forum were you can be yourself and learn by asking anything about coin related topics. I must not meet your standards. Of course people do what they please with there coins, who don't. I'm confused 

I'm done with the bags of wheaties, now onto the ones I put aside that I wasn't sure about. This looks like there was a second mint mark,  but scraped off as it seems like it was a mistake. This coin is in awful bad condition. Thought I would get some opinions thanks.

Sure am finding like crazy, just trying to find another before calling it a night. Pretty sure this is a rpm-004. Any opinions is appreciated thanks. Good night. 

I was wondering what FS-501 meant. Now mentioning it I ask for  a cherry pickers guide for  Xmas. Hopefully I get one. Thank you everyone. I got these to bags of coins from a antique shop, I have no clue how long he's had them. Sure wasn't expecting a bunch of rpms. But I'll tak'em 

My bad, I was only looking at the photo with the doubled eye. I went back in and clicked on the photo and seen more to the description of the 024. Hmmm like I said I'm learning. I'm a little slow but I'm catching on. Thanks 

So this wouldn't be a doubled die. If it was, it would have to have markers to prove it. There's alot to doubled dies. Hmmm 

Found this , thinking it's a ddo 024. It might be different, but almost looks like a match. A nother worn coin apologies. Any opinions would be helpful thanks.

While I know you're enjoying the search for these RPMs and DDO, DDRs but I just want to let you know that many of these coins are in terrible condition. The condition of the coin still matters with these coins as well. Only extremely rare examples are valuable in very worn conditions. Error coins in bad worn condition are worth just a few bucks/ cents more than a normal worn coin. No premiums here. Keep looking and enjoying the search but please don't get too excited as these coins are not especially rare in these conditions. Cheers

Thank you,  just something I enjoy doing. Not trying to make big bucks. Just showing there still out there,  and what keeps it interesting to be in the Hobby. It's a very good learning resource about coins, history ect...

I believe this is a rpm. My question, would it be a horizontal rpm. Can't find nothing on this. I'm just searching and comparing other horizontal rpms to get the idea what one looks like. I have a little idea, but wanted to get others opinions. Thanks

Looks like it might be an RPM but there is too much wear and damage to tell.  In any event it wouldn't be one attributed by NGC as listed in VarietyPlus.  For minor varieties like this I would look for coins in better condition.

Thanks RJO, I bought a couple of big bag's of wheaties to search through, really hard to get my hands on better condition coin's. So I do the best I can to get what I can. I've been told on here by a few members, if I find varietys do not clean the coin's witch could devalue them. And by being in the hobby since 2018 getting more knowledge with searching, and reading, some collector's will buy just to have a variety coin. I know these aren't valuable coins because of the condition there in. I don't really sale,  I keep what I find. Just so I can say I got one. Really fun doing this hobby and love to find what I can.

This is odd, was this some how cut off during the minting process. I don't see any kind of activity going on around the letter. Hmmm 

Wow, this is so interesting. Thought I wouldn't find so many rpms. This I'm pretty sure is a 1950-D rpm 006. Any advice would be appreciated thanks. 

Sure looks also close, thought I would get more opinions on this. Really cool finding varietys fun, fun, fun. Thanks

I have seen that rippled effect on a blowtorched cent. You have to keep the torch moving. 
in order to not melt the copper. It would also be damage, not an error.

Thanks, wasn't sure. Interesting what abuse coins go through 

What's going on with this coin, the reverse has me stumped. Don't know to call it ddr or die deterioration hmmm. Whoever had this coin really gouge the heck out of it. If you need more close up pics let me know. Just to many at once. 

Extra wheat strall on left and right of reverse. Thanks 

Looking at the variety vista 004 and this coin, they both match, but both images looks like it took a hit. im bad at detecting rpms. sure interesting, thought I would get advice on this one also, just to be sure before throwing back in circulation pile. Thanks 

Thank you, onto more hunting. 

I hope I'm not pushing my luck, but this sure looks like a rpm-001. I apologize for how bad the coins look dirty ect.. thank you for any advice.

Looks like you found a  RPM. 
Matches 004

Thank you Greenstang, it's awesome to find something, still got 3,000 or more in a bag of just 40s and 50s to search through. 

I think I found myself a rpm. Looked on variety vista, and it looks like a match -004. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks 

Another rotated die, not sure if this would qualify as grease die or just plan out worn, through circulation. Really hard to tell on the older wheaties. Pic's before going into 2x2.
