Just Bob got a reaction from GoldFinger1969 in How do I find out
I would be very surprised if NGC, or any TPG, kept detailed records of numbers of error coins graded by type of error. Varieties? Probably. Errors? Probably not.

Just Bob got a reaction from Sharann in 1961d dime (rpm?)
Keep in mind that the coins pictured in the Collectors weekly and Treasurenet links are not confirmed re-punched mint marks. They are coins that have been posted by the people who found them, and they are hoping to get information, just like you did with your coin. Also, the video that both mentioned, about a supposed one-of-a-kind unknown RPM, is on CoinOPP, which is a sensationalist video site that is designed to get lots of views, not provide accurate information. (My opinion.)
Your coin does not appear to be a re-punched mint mark to me. It looks like strike doubling.

On a brighter note: I believe the OP has won the prize for "Longest Title to a Post."

Just Bob got a reaction from Oldhoopster in 1901 questions
In the mid 60s, a company called Kaysons International, Ltd. issued a set of 35 different 7 inch vinyl records in a series entitled Presidential Profiles. Each album was narrated by Art Baker, and contained a medallion depicting the president that was featured on that album. Your medallion was one of these.
Here is a link with some info

Just Bob got a reaction from Sharann in 1928-S pennies LG/SM MM
The top one looks like the large style, and the bottom one looks small. Definitely not something I have a lot of experience with, though.

Just Bob got a reaction from EdG_Ohio in It's Token Tuesday! Post 'em if you got 'em.
History from the Singing River Library digital archives:
International Paper Company was formed on January 31, 1898 when eighteen
pulp and paper mills across the Northeastern United States joined together
under one name.
In the 1920's, International Paper was seeking to diversify its business which
led to the creation of the Southern Kraft Division which spanned from
Arkansas to South Carolina.
In 1928, International Paper purchased a local mill in Laine (now Kreole),
Moss Point, Mississippi from Southern Paper Company.
Not only did International Paper provide jobs for many South Mississippians
during the depression and thereafter, but it even did its part during World War
II to help ships that were unable to dock and deliver supplies by developing
specially constructed and strengthened kraft paper cartons, of which Moss
Point mill did its part to produce, to allow the supplies to be dumped
overboard and carried to shore by the tide, thus allowing the supplies to reach
land intact.
Unfortunately, the Moss Point mill was short lived. Eighty-eight years after
its completion in 1913, under ownership of Southern Paper Company, the mill
was closed in 2001 due to high facility costs and the need to align production
with its customer demand.
The picture of the plant is from the 50th anniversary celebration open house and company picnic, June, 1948
The tokens are from the paper company cafeteria. The sizes are comparable to US coins of the same denomination - possibly for use in vending machines.

The National park Cigar stand was in the lobby of the National Park Hotel in Vicksburg, MS from 1913 to 1927. The token is listed as an R10 (unique).

Just Bob got a reaction from GoldFinger1969 in Signed labels
Actually, at least some of NGC's Signature labels are individually hand signed, including those signed by coin designer Glenda Goodacre, astronaut Clayton Anderson, sports stars Joe Theismann and Cal Ripken, Jr., and Numismatic author Jeff Garrett. And, let's not forget William Shatner - AKA Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
In fact, here is a picture of Chief Engraver John Mercanti signing a page of labels:

That was one of the oddest computer-generated SPAM posts I have ever seen.

The man who wrote the guidebook for Peace Dollars comments on your Peace Dollar, and you accuse him of "post whoring?" You are beyond help.

I apologize. I should have given credit where credit was due. The pictures on NGC's Variety Plus page were the pictures that I used to try to attribute this coin.

Just Bob got a reaction from caltx01 in 1798 Draped Bust Large Cent
That is the 2nd hairstyle, Small 8, Style 2 lettering, Reverse of 1797. That narrows it down to 19 (I think) die marriages. Breen 40 ( Sheldon 187 or Bowers-Whitman 54) is the only one that I could find on which the top left berry droops like that.

Just Bob got a reaction from Ray, USMC in Grading question
I don't think I agree. Maybe with "seasoned"collectors this is true, but given the number of new /novice collectors, and the huge amounts of advertising and marketing in the coin world, plus the number of people who buy coins strictly as an investment, I would think that the percentage of buyers whose primary criterion for purchase is selling price would be over 50%.
But, I have been wrong before.
