Message:: [QUOTE="KEN POTTER, post: 8211683, member: 87885"]Everything matches up to the markers on my specimens.  I have seven or eight of them in MS65 RD and MS66 RD (unfortunately ANACS graded) and a couple crappy ones that are spotted.  I sold maybe four or five crappy spotted ones (and I mean really spotted) at levels of around $80 to $100 each on eBay.  I have never offered a sold MS65+ for sale so I have no idea of value other than the price in CPG made me roll over laughing!  Not surprising though since James Wiles got his grubby fingers into the CPG pie on at least pricing RPMs and Doubled Dies and when I asked why prices were so low he said he was basing it on what "real collectors" would pay and not the price levels Registry Set collectors will pay (presumably they are not "real collectors").This was the last of the significant DDRs for 1983 that got into the Cherrypickers' Guide only because neither Bill or JT could find a specimen to photograph until I came up with a few.  It's been about a dozen years since I acquired them but before that the only one I had ever seen was a specimen shown to me by Jim Lafferty at Errorama 1986 held at the Garden State Numismatic Society convention in Cherry Hill.  That's 36 years ago and in that time I have only seen the few I have, Jim's coin and now this one!  Obviously I must of missed a few but not many if so.[/QUOTE]
