<p>[QUOTE="BigTee44, post: 2633054, member: 41883"]That is the question, I recently bought this 1891 and posted a picture of it in the Lets See your Newest Acquisitions and Paddy54 mentioned that my coin was the MPD.

[QUOTE="BigTee44, post: 2633054, member: 41883"]That is the question, I recently bought this 1891 and posted a picture of it in the Lets See your Newest Acquisitions and Paddy54 mentioned that my coin was the MPD. Before he said this I looked at the NGC website to see if there was any varieties with this date and seen the MPD, but didn't think mine was it. So after he responded that it was the MPD, I busted out my Larry Briggs Blue book on Seated Quarters and looked at the information for the variety. It states that the 8 and 9 are 'Clearly repunched below the date' Clash marks are seen by the left wrist, right elbow, pole, arm to the right shoulder, and the right knee drapery juncture. The left base of the 1 is over the right of a dentil. So I see all the clashes, as well as the location of the 1, but I didn't see the misplaced digits, I sent Paddy a DM and he sent me a picture of where he seen it. During the time speaking with Paddy I also sent a message to Larry Briggs himself asking if he could say if it was or was not the MPD, but without the coin in hand, he said he couldn't. I took some more pictures and he said if I can't see the date than it's a plain 91.... but is it possible to have a plain 91 with all the rest of the die markers? I was going to send it in for a regrade and variety but I don't want to spend the $50 to have it done if it is in fact a plain jane 91...... What do you think?
