<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4304193, member: 1765"]This will be tricky. I'm not aware of who or what organization catalogs die varieties for $10 Libs, if any. Given the high mintage for 1881 and that fact that it's not a series collected by die variety, it's not surprising that there are varieties that aren't known. You say there are four known RPDs to date, so my approach would be to contact the cataloger of those varieties and ask for guidance on how to establish yours as the fifth. If they're just known to exist and not officially cataloged by anyone, then my advice would be to catalog them yourself and put together a web page with the 5 different RPDs so that it can become a standard reference for referring to them. CONECA will catalog yours, but without the others it would be an incomplete catalog. The Cherrypicker's Guide would be another option, as it doesn't attempt to be complete, but the guide isn't published often, and without being in the book, having a FS number that nobody can verify doesn't mean much. Without yours being cataloged anywhere the grading services would really only be able to say "repunched date," and not all of them will even go that far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
