I'm wondering if this is indeed an RPM as it looks to be, because it seems to differ from the one I see on PCGS. I think this is something I got in high school, but it took a few years to notice the RPM.

Condition = VF?

Apologies for photo quality, especially obverse.

Thanks in advance.

*date corrected, thanks. Maybe THAT'S why it wasn't matching PCGS!

Looking at VarietyVista, it looks like a match for FS-501, S over S south. Nice find.

Always use varietyvista.com to find RPMs. Although people don't like to hear it, grading companies are not as reliable for attributing varieties as people want to think they are.

For example, PCGS has a verifiable 30% error when assigning the rookie level No FG variety on 1982 half dollar slabs. It gets a lot worse with 1972-D and 1966 No FG attributions.

But please do not take my word for it. Hit the link in my signature, download, read, and use the PCGS website data linked in the essay data for proof.
How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
