Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 6:03 pm These are rather easy to spot. They have a different mint mark than the rest of the dies from that run. I bought these two roughly a year apart, from different platforms but looking at the serial numbers on the slabs, these coins were together some time in the past. They also have the same funny toning but awesome coins all the way around. I do own one more of these. It is pictured here: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin/detail/147863 and is my favorite piece in my collection. Thanks for looking!

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 9:44 pm Will all the markers fit or just partial? And please from where it is the name Trumpet Tail? Sorry I am curious about this name!!. Yes you has the RPM-001 but for one reason or other they took out the FS why? Yes it is relative easy to spot when you know what to look. I test 10 dealers and 8 of 10 told me MD LOL. Edited by silviosi 02/10/2023 9:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15400 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 05:03 am I opened the link provided by John1 ... but still no idea on why this is called a Trumpet Tail. Nice looking coins however. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 12:32 pm These were a couple of others I cracked out and resubmitted. I had $200 or so into them. With grading fees another $100. They came back a 65 and 66. I honestly can't see the difference in them but PCGS did. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/47859264 https://www.PCGS.com/cert/47859265 I own the plate coin for this die as well. It is my favorite coin. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/43904962 Report this Post to the Staff
