Anyone have any good photos of this coin, esp. the date that they would be willing to share. I have an especially nice example(at least to me...full unc). Is there much of a premium for this one also and what would it be...ballpark figure. I can't seem to find any information on this other than there seems to only be one rpd. Thanks.

Depending on the die number, here is a listing of a few from that year that might help you:

Thank you, was at my wits end trying to figure out how to photograph with a point and shoot camera on macro, until I realized that my scanner has a super high quality(for a scanner) setting on it that allows me to scan to this depth. Anyway...I would still like to know if there is a better way...with a point and shoot camera. The request still stands though if anyone has a better quality photo of the date, please share with me. Thank you.

Tim: A couple of pointers for scanning coins.
1. Set you pixel setting to the highest possible setting to get a real large image. So it you have to enlarge, it prevents the pixelated spots from showing.
2. place a dark piece of fabric over the coin on the scanner. This will help prevent the washed out look like your image shows.

When you get a better setup you will find a scope/camera is the better way to get great micro images. Here is a side by side I have of the differences:

3. Editing software will help improve what you want to show on your coin.

Thanks for the tips Coop, not sure I will be getting the setup though as I am thinking of selling off my collection and moving out of country.

Ok, so here's what I've found out. I didn't know PCGS had a guide online to the varieties that they attribute. Now
I have another resource. They say only three have been attributed so far. I do wonder it that is how many to date, or just those that have been attributed this year. Could someone please answer that question for me please. Here is a link to the exact type of coin I have with great pictures of their coin. Here is a close up of the dat on their coin http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/569410
