mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 12:39 am I didn't bother taking the time to obtain the best focus of the obv. for grading since that is not the purpose of this thread. I just wanted to show the label: Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 12:08 am I really would like to get a warm fuzzy feeling from the community if sending this coin to PCGS would be worth the chance/money to confirm the existence of an RPM. These are some newer photos that may or may not shed some extra light on the subject. My deadline to send my eight coins in is this coming Friday, the 16th of Feb. So, any opinions received will be appreciated and weighed out compared to the consensus. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7523 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 10:40 am It might be! but it's more indicative of a damaged MM punch then an RPM.and it does not look like an inverted MM. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 2:59 pm Unless PCGS lists it as a variety, they won't encapsulate it as such. Same with NGC. Looks like something is happening, but as Nickelsearcher said, there is almost no value difference between varieties for most CSC. Report this Post to the Staff
