IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

SilverDollar2017 and Mr. Frog got it ;) Look at the date...1 and 8 heavily repunched to the southeast. I think that makes this Snow 1 (S-1), I'll see if the 4 also has signs of repunching when I get the coin. Not a big premium/scarcity like the 73/80 DDO's or the 71/72 Shallow N reverses, but still a nice find "in the wild." It's one of the stronger "naked eye" RPD's for the series along with the 67/67 and 94/94 to name a couple.

Adam - Agree it's a remarkable recut date for little money, relatively speaking. There are a number of them from this era. Yours is a handsome example.

So that's what it was! I knew I was seeing something fishy in that area, but I just attributed it to camera shake. I never knew there was a repunched date for that year. |

On that note, a question. What happened that caused this dramatic shift in the position of the 1 and 8? I thought only the last two digits were punched into the coin; is that only for later coins?

Just to clear up any confusion, this is in fact a "with L" since it is the S-1.

You are correct. With "L" -- Snow S-1, RPD-001.
Makes my $9.25 investment seem OK to me.
