<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4311204, member: 1765"]Nice repunched date! Unfortunately, these aren't cataloged by anyone, as mentioned earlier. Someone from CONECA would probably catalog it as "RPD-001", but you'd have to send them the coin. After that, ANACS, ICG, an I (as VSS) would put RPD-001 on the label. I agree with your XF45 assessment.</p><p><br /></p><p>My approach to the gunk would be a little different from Doug's. After an acetone bath, the caked-in stuff might need some mechanical nudging with a cactus spine or green rose thorn to remove, but I'd only do this under a stereo microscope, and it's the kind of technique you need to practice on gunky cents. Gold doesn't tend to get green corrosion like cents, so the green bits are probably easily dislodged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
