Help from the master on '64 D/D half

Hello all. Below is a '64-D/D half I came into possession of today. Last time I had an IHP with some doubling I was able to get great information here, I was hoping to do the same on this coin. Any info or thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

That is a really nice 1964-D/D "RPM" find! It appears to be an FS-501 (Coneca RPM-1). Congrats!

Yepper, Frank nailed it! I left a similar post on the coin roll hunting forum.

enamel... Sorry to beat you to the answer! I very seldom look in the CRH forum but really need to as some folks post there Errors and Varieties there. I tried to attribute the RPM onlin due to laziness but finally had to look for my' Cherrypicker's Guide, found it and it was the second one I looked at. I went straight to the FS-502 because that is where I landed by chance when looking, then had to go back a page for the FS-501 and Bingo.

Twitch... Can you post pics of the full Obverse and Reverse or tell us what you would grade the coin at? A graded FS-501 in MS-63 should fetch close to $75 or more and I believe the finest grade is a lone MS-66 grade by NGC. If it is only an AU coin, it might bring $40 in the raw but who knows, it could fetch more.

Here are the best pictures I can get of the coin overall. It looks pretty decent in hand. Shows a lot of flaws in the picture.

Well, the Reverse is in much better condition than the Obverse and overall, I think an AU-50 is about the best you can hope for in a grade on the coin. Still, I believe that due to the popularity of the RPM Variety, the coin could fetch $30 to $40 on a good day. In any case, a strongly separated RPM as such, is a good find any day of the week, month or year!

Thanks. Looking at the on-line grading places I was thinking about the same, probably XF'ish.
