[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 551799, member: 13307"]Hey everyone, Thanks for the replies!

The 1928S is the one I'm up in the air about - there is definitely [I]something[/I] there to the lower right of the S. I know the coin isn't in a high grade, so it may be difficult to diagnose an RPM. If anyone has a better photo of the CPG variety that would be great!
