Is there a D/D/D in 1934?

[Rhubarb]

I just wondering. I haven't seen one like this before.

Yes there is, the one you already found.

RPM-3 is a D/D/D/D some say only D/D/D.

3 of the Ds show in the photo listed in the Cherry Pickers book.

David, I have "one of thise days", EVERY day! It comes with the territory! The biggest thing is when I have to go outside, for "whatever", It takes me several hours, before I am able to "see" good enough to see a separation line on an RPM! One of the members father, has the same problem, MD Macular Deterioration, and it is frustrating, at times. At other it pisses one off! Excuse my "french", CAthy, but that is how it is!

Thank's Dick, My problem is after searching thru so many and trying to identify them that I loose track of what I have found. I will have to come up with a method of: What it is: When I found it: How many I have. The method I come up with must be proficient enough to keep me straight.

The best I can recommend is the system Coop uses. If you have MS Excell, it will do exactly what you want. Give him a call.

Dick: The Excel Program is just like a calculator in the sense that you have to imput the information into the program and it stores it. You have to know what you have and make notations of what you want to remember about the peticular coin in question. The program, just doesn't do it by it self, you have to imput information, the program can store and sort the information for you.
I use the excel program to list coins that the die numbers are know from 1-5 sources. A column for each set of numbers as well as one for my own system. In order to keep track of my findings, I add the information and give the coin a number like unknown RPMs might read 1958D-1MM-coop-01 That would be an unlisted one for that date/mintmark and then I would mark it on the 2 X 2 or flip to remember what the anumoly was for this coin. On the program besides the numbers I may include die state/direction of separation/markers/something special about the coin. When I find another one, then I can compare it with the second coin. Not the same, then it becomes 1958D-1MM-coop-02 and so forth. The program hold the infomation and added info to keep track of the anomoly I found and how it is different than prieviouly found examples. Then put it on a 2 X 2/flip with that number so I can find it again. Store them till they can be listed, other minor ones may never be listed, so I may leave them in a tube to look at another time. The prgram sorts acordding to columns and it makes your collection organized, if you make the effort to add the information.

Coop, I understand what you are saying, and have said before. I have excel, and haven't yet tried to list my "known" specimens, but it will serve to keep a list of every coin I do have, and as the info is gained, can replace the "presence" info. I referred someone to you, and/or your post, plus in my case, the email showing me, the ins, and outs of the system. It is much easier than some of the softwatre progams that are available, both free, and for sale. If you see extra letters, etc, that don't make sense, don't worry,. Just read beyond, and sooner,or later it will make sense. I am having a bad "EYE" day. Other folks have their bad hair days, but mine are eye types. Even with dark glasses, I still am nearly blind for a long time after I come back indoors. It doesn't affect my movements, just the reading. There are times that I can't read, even with the magnifier! That is when I don't try to see lines, or serifs, etc. They just "ain't there"! Thiose times are when I get some maintainance done! There is always something that has to be modified, moved, or just repaired. Speaking of repair, I wanted to see why my bandsaw didn't want to run. I checked the brushes, and couldn't find the holes to put them back into! GAD! Maybe I better quit, while I still have all my fingers!

Dick:
The excel program is nice, but a recorded listing would do as well. I find that the only ones I add a description of the unknown RPMs is in direction and on Bar Cents the length/strength of them, so I can match them up. If you started listing everything, you would eventually run out of paper. So the simpler you keep the information, the better it will be able to find a match. If you get too minor, it is not worth listing. So I try to keep descriptions on more major items and most of the minor stuff stay annomous in a tube to re-check later. I've got lots of rolls of them. Also I usually make a description of coins that I send it, so it keeps you from sending in the same coin twice. When sending in coins it is better to send one from different years, rather than different minors of the same year. Easier for Bob to ovserve and less of a chance of sending duplicates from the same die. I bet Bob would appreciate that.
