<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8002884, member: 105571&quot;][USER=11540]@ldhair[/USER], quite a nice example.&nbsp; I agree with [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] that it is the RPD-002 (Breen 3091) and was die polished heavily. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other RPD of 1858 is RPD-001 (Breen 3090) which is not an inverted variety but rather punched wide north (about 50%) in normal orientation.&nbsp; Much rarer than the inverted RPD-001.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is typical of the Type II used from 1840 to 1859 and is typified by the split buds, shown below circled from your photo.&nbsp; The buds on the Type Is are closed.&nbsp; The legend lettering is also larger on the Type IIs than on the prior Type Is.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1388335[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
