  What kind of help do you need?

  I think there's about two hundred RPM's for the date. Or is that 61-D?
  
  got any pics?

  113 for 1960d, 72 for 61d. And those are CONECA, whose attributor applies a subjective standard and rejects those he deems to be "too minor". I have been told that Wexler, and maybe others, will attribute anything new.

  In case you couldn't hear Pharmer's reply over the sound of his axe grinding.... there are a lot of repunched mintmarks known on 1960-D cents. Without a picture it is nearly impossible to attribute them, but they range from minor "split serif" types to bolder varieties with almost two complete mintmarks. One of the strongest and most common is the first one listed, RPM#1, with two complete mintmarks side by side and overlapping. If you look at it quickly it almost looke like a Roman numeral II under the date.
  
  None of these are particularly valuable, even BU examples of RPM#1 usually sell for around $10-15. If there is anything else you want to know about your coin, please ask specific questions and folks here will do their best to give you concise answers.

  That was a very disrespectful ad hominem attack Sean. I was supply information to him, for which he had asked.

  THAT's what you're referring to as axe grnding? You ignoramus, James Wiles has told me on at least two occasions that he applies a subjective standard. I have at least 200 flips labeled "too minor" by his hand on submitted rpm's! You have no idea what you are talking about, and you have lied, and have attacked me falsely.
  
  One of those 113 1960d rpm's is my new listing. I have others in many other dates. You ass, you are a liar and a fool.

  I'm sure your apology for lying and having no clue about CONECA variety attribution standards will be forthcoming.

  I am sorry... that James didn't like the coins you sent him. As far as knowing nothing about CONECA attribution standards, that part of your allegation is demonstrably true, as why else would they have allowed me to be accountable for them for the last four years:
  
  
  
  FYI, copping to my gross incompetence, I am not running for that seat again. If you missed the call for candidates you should contact Mike Diamond ('errormaven'), you may still have time to get your hat into the ring. I'll even promise here to vote for you if you do run. Of course, that would entail doing something about a problem beyond coming here and whining about it.

  I'm just curious. Does anyone know why there are so many RPM's for 1960 and 1961 Lincolns?
