Hinkle Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 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.

dprince1138 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I believe that your penny is a differebt RPM than RPM-017 The "D" on your coin is positioned more to the right, seems to have a slightly more tilt and column 20 seems to have a significant die crack.

There are also 145 RPMs listed on Wexler's for a 1959-D 1C (WRPM-001 to WRPM-145} with detailed descriptions and die markers if you really want to torture yourself, but I'm not convinced it actually is an RPM but you have the coin in-hand. dprince1138 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprince1138 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Very interesting. I could build a search engine, in which multlple match consideratiions can be selected, for example; Using check boxes or drop downs, selecting "cracked", "column twelve", "tilted "D"". Also, perhaps implementing the google image matching object The search engine could combine the different variety sources, as well as an option provided to search a selected source. It would not be difficult to build. Doing a brief search on Column twelve with a die crack located WRPM-058 as a possible match. I could distribute the search engine as a stand alone executable or as an install app (wider object platform). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprince1138 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I could expand it to include the multiple die variety sources, with reference images. As stated, I use 5 different sources, all with different formating and organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powermad5000 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Which is why I would never use your search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have been looking at Variety Vista for about fifteen minutes now and toggling back and forth between that and your coin, and I am not sure there is even an RPM here. Regardless of any of the possible markers, I keep going back to your coin and say to myself, "Where are the remnants of the other D?" When I stare at yours, I don't see even the most faint remnant. Hopefully you are not developing pareidolia by searching so many coins for minor varieties. EagleRJO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs to put the bag of cents down and slowly step away from the table, and keep those hands in plain sight so we know you didn't grab some more cents to look at. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halbrook Family Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Hinkle Personally I think you are doing a great job finding the varieties. How many have you found so far? Obviously there is still lots of them out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10x magnifying glass with built-in LED lights. I use it so much I am on my 2nd one. I have a 40x loupe and scope but I only use them for counterfeit detection and variety attribution confirmations. See this article ... https://www.pcgs.com/news/tools-of-a-professional-coin-grader For photos I just use my phone, but I keep it close and directly above the coin and rest my hand on something.
