numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11882 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 11:53 pm Picked this up for $106. Pictures are all of the same coin. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 5:01 pm XF40. If you get it, look at the 6 numerals in the date, it looks like an RPD 66/66 to me.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11882 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 5:32 pm Thanks! I bought the coin yesterday and should have it mid-week next week. Russ Doughty and Kevin Flynn run an Indian cent variety attribution guide online. Their guide shows eleven 1866 IHC rpd varieties. Not all of them have pictures so I wasn't able to attribute it. I was able to enlarge the date to attempt the attribution. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 6:04 pm Could just be junk or PMD but the 2nd 6 looks repunched to the northwest above the left of the top curve and to the northeast from the right lower outer loop.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11882 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 6:15 pm I suppose that could match RPD-008 with the following diagnostic, but there are other rim markers for this variety that are missing on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 7:20 pm Looks like the RPD-008 to me, but we'll see when you get in-hand. If it does turn out to be the RPD-008 that's a nice bonus on an otherwise nice coin.
