Hope nobody minds, I know I like to look at other folks' coins and figured someone might like to see mine. ( I'll show you mine if you show me yours  ) Plus I FINALLY have good pics of them. Here's an 89d WRPM-010...
Cheers,
JAY

Your pics and the RPMs are looking good.

Thanks Ed & Dick,
It's nice to be able to finally get some good pics of my RPM's.
I don't know if this is the right place to list them or if anyone wants to see any more, but I have about thirty 80's "D" RPM's I've found in the last 10 years and would be glad to share if anyone wants.
Cheers,
JAY

Jay,
When you post them can you can show part of the date in the pic so we can see the MM placement.
It comes in handy if trying to ID them

Ed,
You are right on....... the placement of the MM in relation to the date is critical to attribute the RPM....... BUT,
I have not yet taken "full" shots of the coins, or a partial date/mm shot.
I'm 12+ years into this Lincoln variety thing (disease!??!) and I JUST NOW got decent pics of the MM!!  
For now, if there is one anyone who would like a full shot to help attribute a specific coin please let me know, I will take a shot and post it!
Cheers,
JAY

Jay,
For me I can get a decent pic of MMs or partial with the date BUT if I try getting a full coin pic it's really hard and mine never look good.

Actually, if the date, and MM are in full view, that is usually all that is needed to ID the RPM, but there are times when the vest, or rim play an important part. Some of the RPM's are so close it is nearly impossible to be sure, withour other markers available. IMHO.

Hey Ed,
I know what you mean, although I have not played around to much yet to figure out how to get the MM and the full date in the same shot. AND of course Dick is right in the fact that RPM's sometimes are difficult to attribute by pics alone.
That's what make this site so unique. CD's idea of SHARING information allows collectors to access pics and info that has always been a big secret with the "other" experts out there.
Plus this forum allows us all to get input from fellow collectors and experts alike, so like I said , pretty unique.
Thanks for including me.
Cheers,
JAY
