Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 1:35 pm This is an ugly coin and definitely not a flashy rpm in this die state. I wasn't sure it was the RPM until I had it in hand. There are no remnants of the secondary mint mark but the markers are present for lds. The reverse die looks very fresh and correct me if I'm wrong but this may be a unique piece. What do you think? I'm going to try to clarify a little bit here. This particular rpm has several die states. The latest die state listed on any of the sites has old worn out obverse and reverse dies. This coin has the original vlds obverse with an eds reverse. I think this was done very late in the run and very few examples of this die state exist. Edited by Willburton 12/04/2022 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 3:42 pm ijn1944 , I'm thinking that is Will's point. This is a unlisted die marriage. This reverse die had been unknown paired with rpm#1 Excellent find Will! Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 5:38 pm Yes that's what I was getting at. Thanks guys! It's a decent score at 62RB even without the new reverse die. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 4:24 pm So I submitted this to variety vista. Just got it back! Mr. Wiles agreed that it is in fact a new die marriage. I'm not positive but I bet he doesn't get say that very often! Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 10:45 pm Really good news Will. Congrats. (I wonder if the mint changed it out with a MDS reverse die. It seems to have some deterioration and die flow lines going on.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
