<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2734886, member: 19250&quot;]A very nice specimen&nbsp; not seeing a $109.00 coin, I&#039;ve picked up several over the years as nice xf-au grades for half of the seller&nbsp; asking&nbsp; price. As for the specimen&nbsp; being an rpd it maybe ,but again I agree&nbsp; with&nbsp; the&nbsp; others an in hand exam would tell , I can&#039;t&nbsp; judge&nbsp; from the images&nbsp; provided . These were struck in nickel die only lasted 10 k&nbsp; strikes each before they were done. Thus the die cracks on this coin. I believe&nbsp; that&nbsp; the seller thinks he has a rpm in xf+ shape as well the die cracks&nbsp; being a huge selling&nbsp; point.</p><p>As a shield&nbsp; collector&nbsp; this coin would interest&nbsp; me but again in the $45-60 range&nbsp; and only higher if examined in hand to determine&nbsp; if in fact a rpd.</p><p>There are quite&nbsp; a few 1868 and 69 variety&nbsp; coins .&nbsp; A careful&nbsp; buyer at a show could pick up two for the asking price of this coin.</p><p>Perhaps&nbsp; a variety&nbsp; as many dealers aren&#039;t&nbsp; up on the shield varieties&nbsp; as most are sold to type set collectors, wanting to fill a hole in their 7070 set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
