Hi guys,
Do you remember when I posted these two cheap price buys from my LCS?
1942d BU
1945d BU
I brought the '42d to show my dealer friend. Well, he pointed out a beautiful variety RPM that I missed! From maybe a $100 coin to a possible $450 coin? With that RPM.
Here it is. Comparing my coin to variety vista pics.

Looks like you have a Winner there, Nice pick-up from your local Coin Store. Great Dime series to boot!
Very nice find Joey and you got those really cheap too.

I can't believe it! From a $5 buy to a possible $400 coin?
WoW!

Score one for Joey!
More like score 638 for Joey. He's always finding those W quarters and other nice stuff.

Neat find!
Remember to base your values on sold coins rather than price guides.
I have not checked this one, myself.

I hope you bought your friend a cup of coffee.
Sometimes we just get lucky.

Kennedys are my quest...
Lol.
Here's somemore good news my dealer friend told me today.
He said, "Did you know you are getting the dealer discount everytime you send a coin/s out?"
This probably explains why I was only getting charged $22 per coin graded? Lol.
I think the normal cost is $25?

Why was the 42-D “maybe a $100 coin”, originally? You think it will grade better than MS66FB?

No, I doubt better than a ms 66, hoping at least a ms 65 now, after the RPM discovery?

Hoard the keys.
That’s what I didn’t understand. Without the RPM, it’s not a $100 coin unless it grades higher than 66, and not even close as a 65.

Do you understand why its now a $400 coin just because of the RPM, that has me stumped, but what do I know.

I don’t think it is a $400 coin, but I’ll hope for the OP that I’m wrong.

Nice!
Ignore the price guide and don’t worry about hope. What do you actually think the coin grades?
I don’t know much about Mercury Dime varieties but I see a 64 RPM sold recently on GC for $180 so it certainly seems worth sending to PCGS. Congratulations on your good fortune! You can even cherry-pick without trying!
...What do you actually think the coin grades?
Honestly, I would guess, ms 64.

Nice find Joey.... Looks like you scored on that one. Cheers, RickO
Nice find. Congratulations.
Yeah, I'd like to see a sale even close to that number.
