<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26534821, member: 104064&quot;]Flynn has RPD-001 and RPD-002. His RPD-001 is Lawrence&#039;s 101, which Flynn cross-references as &quot;L-101.&quot; Flynn&#039;s RPD-002 is also his RPM-001, and they cross-reference each other as you said, page 89 and page 153. CPG 5th edition only has FS-501, which is the RPM, and does not show any RPDs. I am convinced FS-501 and Flynn&#039;s RPM-001 are the same variety. If you compare my image above, they are exactly the same and in the same position relative to the ribbon and denticles. It&#039;s too bad Flynn&#039;s image doesn&#039;t show more surrounding the MM. </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has one image of FS-501 in XF45. They have graded 3 of them. G4, XF40 and XF45. The XF40 is presumably this coin, sold on GC <a href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1339651/1907-OO-Barber-Dime-RPM-FS-501-PCGS-XF-40-Toned" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1339651/1907-OO-Barber-Dime-RPM-FS-501-PCGS-XF-40-Toned" rel="nofollow">https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1339651/1907-OO-Barber-Dime-RPM-FS-501-PCGS-XF-40-Toned</a>. I can&#039;t tell anything from the GC photos other than that the MM position matches the FS-501 image in CPG and Flynn&#039;s RPM-001, and the date position matches Flynn&#039;s RPD-002. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC also attributes FS-501 but there is no image and there are none in their pop report. I don&#039;t find anything attributed in ANACS. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think you might be fixated on the hint of a repunch inside your O, which is seen on Flynn&#039;s image but not the CPG image. But your coin is missing the obvious &quot;hook&quot; at the lower right of the MM. It&#039;s the only distinguishing thing I can see on the PCGS XF45, below, whereas I also can&#039;t really see anything inside the O. Note also that the MM position matches FS-501 and RPM-001 in my previous image - low and right of center.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691204[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You also need to compare the obverse date positions, which in this era vary on each die used. I check where the right edge of 1 aligns with the designer initial B in the lower bust, which is fixed on every obverse die, and also where that and the other digits align with the denticles. Flynn&#039;s images of his RPD-001 and RPD-002 are useful here. Your coin&#039;s date clearly does not align with either one. Your 9 for example aligns directly over a denticle, whereas both of Flynn&#039;s 9s align over a gap between the denticles. I&#039;m too lazy to do a comparison image, but you can check this yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope all this is helpful. In hand you&#039;ll have to inspect carefully under magnification. Who knows, you may have one that hasn&#039;t been documented. There are a ton of them still out there in the Barber series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
