Hi all need your opinion on whether my 1964 d washington quarter can be considered an rpm, I'm fairly certain that it's a type c but your opinion will hopefully seal my thoughts. Thanks
Certainly presents the appearance of a pretty strong RPM. The only one recorded with that South orientation at Variety Vista is RPM-004: http://varietyvista.com/Variety Master Listings/washington rpms 1950-1989.htm#_1964-D Your image isn't quite sharp enough at the tips of the arrows and leaf to be sure it's Type C - have a look at here for some clear illustration of the differences: http://doubleddie.com/286101.html I found a coin at Heritage with what looks like a similar RPM, and it's a Type C: http://coins.ha.com/itm/washington-...-25095.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515
What kind of value does it have , I have a coin dealer who can send it in for grading is it worth it?
That might be grade-dependent, to a certain extent. Research indicates the Type C Reverse trades at a substantial premium, but too little information is extant so far regarding the RPM (if that's what it is) to have generated much interest. Part of the "value" of an error of this type is publicity and availability. Can you possibly post full-face images so we can get a general feel for grade? Even as a Type C reverse, a circulated version might not have enough value to justify slabbing. It's not a reasonable expectation for counterfeiting - so slabbing for authentication isn't called for - and in decent images a perspective buyer can tell clearly which reverse it is. They won't need a TPG to tell them it's Type C. In Mint State grades, though, one would probably want the grade endorsement from a TPG. Last March, a Type C in PCGS MS63 (a grade for this issue which otherwise isn't worth $10) sold for $282 at Heritage.
Exactly what he said!! The most important thing you can do now, is post nice clear full obverse and reverse images of the coin.
