    Found 1987-D RPM-005 but what a shame

    1st time finding this nice RPM, but it's a mess. What a shame. I think this would be a great looking variety in BU condition.

    Nice find Rock. Always my fear. Finding a very nice one then O then flipping it over.

    But the search goes on.

      I love that one Rock, just sold one in the trading post. To the best of my knowledge, with the exception of the contested D in the Date for 1987, it's the most widely spaced RPM of the 80s. Great pics too!

                That is a killer rpm. Great find no matter what condition.
                I purchased one coincidentally off Chris last week. Plate coin for coppercoins if you want to check it out. Very, very dramatic in hand.

                    Thanks. I know what you mean. It's even cooler in hand. Got to figure a way to chisel the crud off though.

                            Use a little of BadThad's stuff on that one Rock, It does pretty well at taking crud of off zincs.
                            That is a nice one to find, I traded for mine...

                              Do a quick, and I mean quick, acetone bath. Then use Verdi-care. As stated it does a great job, plus it will help protect it. Afterwards put it in a flip. I do this to all of my "problem" coins, and have been very satisfied. This also reminds me to order some more. I do wish Thad would offer some sort of LCR discount, or at the very least a loyal customer discount. Ah, I digress.
