I've been getting into looking on ebay for CherryPickers' Guide varieties, and I found a Half Dime listing that looked like it could be a rare repunched date. I took the chance for $30 and it came in the mail today. It is still hard to tell for sure if it is FS-301 since the coin isn't it great shape and the only picture of the variety I could find is the one in the guide. What do you think?

Looks interesting, hard to tell what's above the 4 on the date.

Do you see any sign of the RPD above it?

I'm considering sending this to NGC since it is listed in variety plus. If this does get graded, wouldn't it be the first graded example of this variety?

Got it graded by NGC! I made a You vs. NGC post about it. Will post the grade there tomorrow.

However, NGC did not label the variety. They claimed the coin was too dirty to attribute.
