This was a fun one to find last night in a bag of wheats. RPM-007 is fairly rare and since I look at the date first I saw that first. Then the
Retained Cud jumped out, and then...I looked closer.
The RPM is the real deal. The
Retained Cud is a fake that someone very crudely scraped into what sort of looks cud-like. And among other bits of damage to the coin is a fairly deep drill hole in the reverse.
I don't even know what category to file this thing under, but it's an interesting one with a history.
