The good old machine doubling always tricks my eyes when looking at a tiny mint mark 

Jason thank you very much for that photo that helps my understanding of machine doubling versus hub doubling for sure. Now i just gotta get my understanding of RPM versus nothing really there down 

When id ask my question i should of illustrated it i reckon. Black arrow in attached photo is not what i was ask about i know that is nothing. The white arrows is what i was basing my question on. So its not rpm i get that but what it that the red arrow is pointing to?? Is it just partly grease filled die or im i just seeing stuff thats not even there??

Im by no way shap form or fashion the wise thats why i post what i do. Ridiculous as some of it may seem I don't know a whole lot about it. So i ask and thats how i learn. I can look all day long online for answers and never get them since i joined this form I've learned about many coins and even a token i searched for off and on a couple years for took Conder all of a few minutes to tell me what it was. Just amazing the vast amounts of knowledge thats is here!!

Welcome and you have received some good advice. Not full bands middle and bottom problematic. Obverse looks like maybe some scrubbing scratches from a previous cleaning. What is very cool is unexpected catch 🎣. Your fishin for crappy and hooked a bass. You also got a bonus cent (picture?). That’s living large. I compare it to finding silver coins in the coin star coin return 🤓 but that’s another story. Thanks James 

Thanks and i found 12 Indian heads in the roll including this one the other 11 not so good

The idea of telling its authenticity from a blurry photo of only one side is almost comic.

I know really didnt expect any reply tonite. And im not sure what a real one looks like from any side. Most time the more seasoned veterans can spot a fake no matter what kinda photo it is. But come tomorrow ill have wait diameter photos of both sides thickness. I'm not sure if there's anything else if so please advise.

Lot good finds. Got a laptop and three tablets for 15 bucks well 30 each if you figure in shipping...and all the time find good coin lots

Goodwill?  Explain please 🤓🙀

ShopGoodwill.com has online auctions of surplus items. From different locations across the U.S.

This is just a screen shot. As i dont have the coin in my possession just yet. Should have it tomorrow afternoon and will post better photos of both sides then. But from what i have now can anyone tell if it is the real deal or a fake? I got it through a bulk coin and token lot auction i won through either goodwill or ebay i dont recall which now. Anyhow as i look through the pile of coins i noticed this one and i know i need the other side to know which one it is but either way i knew it was rare coin so long as its real.. Just dont know enough about em.

You're welcome JAnsley!!! In looking at your new photos, I think your dime has environmental damage on the obverse.  The reverse is quite nice, though.  Still, definitely a good find in an eBay Wheat Cent roll!! 

I wasnt sure if it was environmental or toning and I've got the coin in front of me...iam glad you can tell cause i was just gonna call it toned dark and try see if can sell it. But being that someone with more knowledge on the matter says environmental then id rather just keep it than jerk some one around just to make a buck. Plus it wont take up much room in my safe with the others so just as well keep it.

Thanks again guys great help as ALWAYS 

RPM-015 variety vista is what i matched it to. Now if that is correct or not IDK. But the die markers match best can tell. Iam new at this so chance im wrong but thats how you learn by screwin up. Cause if you never screw up then you aren't doing anything. Thanks again everyone yall been big help yet again!!

I will check it out sorry i havent got that far yet i found a Mercury dime in a penny roll and got excited. I forgot what i was originally doing. But gonna go check out variety vista now.

Not a bad find for an eBay cent roll.  Congrats!

Thanks Mohawk!!

Maybe these are a little better. Not then ill have to find some batterys and break out the wife's camera. Rather than keep wasting your time by me trying to keep use this cellphone.

It pays for your $10 or more. I can’t tell from the pics if the obverse is just darkly toned or if it has some environmental damage. Middle bands on fasces and bottom band nick would exclude full bands designations. Definitely a nice find in a penny roll any day. If you can get a little clearer picture we can tell you more on grade. 

I'll see if i can get better photos and will post them shortly. And i didn't even see the nick on bottom band. Good catch

Found this beautiful dime (1936D FB) this afternoon in a $10 roll of wheat pennies i bought off ebay.. Also same roll had a 1864 copper nickel indain head!! Best 10 bucks I've sent yet! Or am i getting exited about nothing?

Looks to me RPM . There are known RPM for 1959-D , I included link you can look it up yourself not exactly sure which one you have 

http://www.varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/RPMs 1959D.htm

I thought it maybe was rpm knowing there are a few know for the year.  i wasn't sure though because i have trouble telling the difference between RPM & double die compared to machine double. Just want see really if any one more experienced than I seen the same thing. Thank you for taking the time to look and answer. Also for the link as well im check it out in a second. 

Would this be a RPM D/D or is it just machine doubling?

I'm guessing but I'm leaning towards a Aviation union token/coin.
Was she or another older family member by chance have a job related to Aviation ?

My papa (her ex husband) used to do aerial photography. Other than that no flyers in the family that im aware of. 

Im not really sure if I've post this here already but i dont think so. Anyhow when my granny past and i inherited her collection i found this token as i call it. I have been able to obtain this about it (ユニオ(unio)) but nothing else and hopeing some one here may can shine a little light on it for me.

weight- 5.1 grams
diameter- 24.81 mm
thickness 1.45mm
Composition- unknown 

Does any one know where i may can obtain a used cherry pickers guide at an affordable price? A new cost way to much for my blood and I've been unable to find a good used one. Thanks for anu help on this matter.

As far as I know a 1971 Lincoln Cent OMM does not exist.  Most likely they are die chips that may resemble something that you think you are seeing. Lincoln Cent OMM are far and few between and nothing I am aware of from the 1970's.  

GBrad

Thank you for the response. Id never heard of one from 70's either that's why got excited for a sec but im sure your correct it probably a die chip or just my bad vision. 

Thanks jeff

Don’t be in a hurry to do everything at once. Enjoy the process. When you’re old and gray, it’ll be the joys of the process that you’ll treasure.

Im already old and gray (well getting grey and bald) with 2 grandboys at young age of 34... Ok so im not old but i feel old..and i very much do just enjoy the hobby that's why im so apt to learn as much as i can as quick as can. Its the only hobby that's kept my attention other than building electronics.

Quick question and ill start another form if need be but is there such thing as a 1971 cent D/S? Asking because i think i found one. If it was on a post '82 id dismiss it as zinc rot but being on a 95% copper i cant very well do that.

Thanks jeff
