Does anyone know of another site that would have pics of the RPD's?

It is a RPD. I don't have my Briggs book or collected copied of the Gobrecht journal available, but with a RPD that strong I feel sure it is probably a known variety.

I understand what you are saying. But according to the site posted there is a definite difference. The 8 on mine shows re punching. And the posted links do not show re punching of the 8. Secondly the 6 on mine only shows a single re punch rather than a double inside the loop of the 6. Also, the location of the re punch on the 6 is in different locations. Mine is more in the center of the loop, where as Heritage's is more towards the top of the loop. The FS-304 is the closest, but, I'm not sure that is it. I appreciate the help w/ this one. I've been scratching my head over this.

It definitely isn't FS-304. The repunching in the 8 is fine and delicate, the coin seems to be a early die state. The FS-304 shows much heavier repunching in loop of the 6. For an FS-304 to lose enough repunching evidence to match the op coin it would have to have either extreme die wear or to have been severely polished. And if it was repolished to the point that it looked like the op coin there would be no trace of repunching on the 8 like the op shows unless the 304 die originally had repunching on the 8 similar to that seen on the 6 in the Heritage photo. The FS-304 never had that.

I had thought EDS. But, Mine is more in the center of the loop, where as Heritage's is more towards the top of the loop. Here is mine   This is FS-304 from Heritage  Edited by chris12018

I've been to my LCS & went through a couple of books, but, still not having any luck. The books show some RPD's. But, I did not find mine.
