    Cool repunched date. Not in Cherrypickers Guide. Holder says "Minor Variety RPD." It is a MS63. The doubling shows in the upper loops of the 8's. @ldhair

    Pretty coin. It looks like S1 to me.

    Thanks! I think that's right. Think the really late die state is what threw me off. Obverse die is mush! Apparently, Rick Snow calls this the "Sleepy Eyes variety."

    I agree with the "late die state" analysis.
    LOTS of metal flow lines on the obverse and most of the feathers have lost definition on the ends.

    Nice looking coin. Looks better than 63 to me.

    Major die erosion on that one. I can look it up on Saturday, but weak doubling might not survive heavy die wear, and die fatigue doubling starts to rear its ugly head on dies like this.

    Sleepy Eyes Snow-1, 2 stars. Rim cud on reverse is diagnostic.

    And I thank the people who ID'ed the Snow variety.
    I was about to drag out Snow Attribution Guide but you saved me the effort.
    They are heavy and I'm old :joyful:
