I have a 1943 P Jefferson Nickel that is labeled as a "1943 P/P RPM-19". It is graded MS-65, in an ANACS slab. I haven't been able to find any refrences to this RPM, and to be quite honest, I am having a hard time seeing the RPM. Any one feel like giving me a hand by showing me what indicates it as a RPM? Also, did ANACS get the grade right, and what is the potential value? Thanks!
Look at the very base of the vertical column of the "P" and you'll see it. A lot of RPM's don't have huge seperation or seperate mintmarks altogether. Many are just like your example or even less obvious than this with nothing more than a slight split serif. Nice find!
The RPM makes it no more valuble unless you can The RPM makes it no more valuble unless you can get it to someone who wants or needs it. This is one of the problems with RPM's that have value otherwise as a mint state coin with some (or more) numismatic value. Remember the sound advice, "as the numismatic value of a coin increases any variety associated with it will decrease"! To break it down for you - you have a silver war nickle in a very nice grade in TPG slab - your market for that coin 9 times out of 10 is for someone looking for the war nickle as is, the RPM is a minor one and the person who wants this coin as a numismatic coin could care less about the RPM. He may even pass preffering to find this coin in same grade witout an RPM which he can do easily. There are hundreds of war nickle RPM's in gem BU - they are about as common as nickles without an RPM. I hope this makes sence to you it took me about 5 years to fully learn this. Any value add the coin may have as RPM is minor, under 5% in most cases and only then if you locate someone needing this die.
Any registry set owner can easily find this in MS-66, Any registry set owner can easily find this in MS-66, probably 67 also.
