Popular Post Hinkle Posted December 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2023 This I would think is nicer then the others. Really shocked to find this one. I'm getting low on my bag of wheaties, time to go get a couple of more bags. That's if I come across them.

Popular Post Sandon Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 I generally don't get excited about repunched mintmarks, but this one is significant. It does appear to be the 1956-D RPM-001 variety, also listed as FS-501 in the Cherrypickers Guide. Here is a photo from NGC VarietyPlus.

Hinkle Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 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 Newenglandrarities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "FS" stands for "Fivaz-Stanton", Bill Fivaz and the late J.T. Stanton, the authors of the Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties. Whitman just published sixth edition Volume II, covering half dimes through quarter dollars, available at whitman.com and elsewhere. Unfortunately, Volume I, which includes cents and nickels, is already out of print. You might be able to locate a second-hand copy of the sixth or an earlier edition. (Prior to the sixth edition, there were only two volumes.) Most if not all of the varieties listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide are included in VarietyPlus.

EagleRJO Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) That is a 1956-D 1C FS-501 RPM and a nice find. It's a keeper and significant enough to have an FS number as well as to be listed in NGC VarietyPlus. https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/cents/lincoln-cents-wheat-reverse-1909-1958/?page=2 Edited December 6, 2023 by EagleRJO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powermad5000 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 One of the more "bold" RPM's in this series. Definite keeper! This one is good enough that I remember it without needing to look it up because I remember that wide spread. Nice find!
