It has been awhile but I finally found another submission worthy Jefferson War Nickel RPM. I cherrypicked this one off of eBay for $25 and I expect it to grade MS66+, the marks at the bottom of his coat should prevent MS67 despite the luster and eye appeal being tremendous. The telltale die clash on the obverse should seal the deal for the RPM attribution: RPM-017 which is VP-009 at NGC.

Oh, you know how to get my goat, don't you Nice coin, even if I philosophically disagree. Besides the planchet roughness disagreement, the marks on his shoulder, hair above his ear, and on the chin absolutely preclude 67. Cool, easily visible RPM though!
