Made my usual stop by the lcs on the way home.
Picked up alot of coins this time as well as a 1953-D OBW . Paid 20$ for the obw, ended up finding 3 D/D rpm-001 not to shabby!

    Are those pretty scarce? Seems like a whole lotta fun for $20 bucks.

    It is a top 100 rpm on wexlers and a cherry picker variety. As far as rarity I have no clue. I can't find much info. The pcgs value view shows very few auctions.

    @dagingerbeasttt
    I'm learning here, which D is considered the primary mintmark?
    Thanks boston

    This variety is listed in CONECA's top
    100 RPM's and Wexler's top 100
    RPM's. It is also listed in the
    Cherrypicker's Guide.

    1953 D/D RPM 2 is very similar. They
    can be distinguished by the location of
    the mintmark. 1953 D/D RPM 1 has
    the primary mintmark located directly
    under the 5 of the date.

    The 1953 D/D rpm 2 is located more towards than 9 than directly under the 5.
    As far as which D is considered the primary I am unsure.

    Cool finds for sure, RPM's are a thin market so value depends on finding the right buyer or the right two buyers at auction.

    Being a Top 100 RPM they would be worth grading if they are MS-65 or above.
    Without better photos it looks like you may have a shot on 2 of them.

    I know for sure I am gonna send one in , the far left I don't believe would make the 65 or above cut. The middle I think is a 65+, the far right I am unsure of. I'll have to give em a good look over again when I am off work

    When you get the time you might want to try to get a little better photos and post them here for grade opinions. ;)

    I'd say 66RD isn't out of the realm of possibility. The spot on the reverse of #3 is a bit bothersome though.

    I would definitely be happy with a 66. I'm not too sure what that spot it

    I would send in coin 1 for sure, probably 2 as well.

    Coin 1 & 2 may be worth sending.

    Coin 1 MS-65 to 66

    Coin 2 MS-64 to 65

    Coin 3 MS-63

    Just my dumb guess, and keep in mind I am wrong a lot. ;)
