    Also, the rarity rating seems to be dependent on grade as well. I had been researching a coin that was desribed as being an R6 at an MS grade, as well as the market value increasing dramatically at XF, so the assumption was that the coin was an R4 at this grade level. The defaulr rarity was considered as R3.

    Certainly possible, but the markers are somewhat difficult to differentiate. http://www.varietyvista.com/02a LC RPMs Vol 1/RPMs 1940S.htm

    Certainly seems to be an RPM 5 specimen.

    Right off hand. I would say no.

    Nice photos. The ridge does not seem to be at the proper angle or ending location of the "2" remains example. The attached image is consistant with other images of the "2" remains.

    Here is a coin (1890 Seated Liberty dime) that I have graded as AU+ (almost uncirculated). Although, there is damage on the reverse and perhaps some cleaning scratches on the obverse. Obverse- All detail is of extremly high quality. Only very few small wear spots on highest area. Reverse- All detail is of extremly high quality. Only very few small wear spots on highest area. Also, for comparison, is a NGC rated coin.

    FYI, there is a more detailed breakdown of rarity levels. Each level has an estimated number of "survivors" of the coin and die variety.

    I now have all 4 coins of reasonable value that I believe to have a die variety of R3 or R4 in hand. However, I believe that the 1890 Seated Liberty dime is a die variety F-111, R3. I will send these 4 to NGC. Interestingly, the 1890 does not have an example in PCGS and is not listed in NGC varieties. Also, the 1832 Capped Bust, that I suspect is a die varity of JR-4, does not have an example listed in the NGC varieties. Once I have them graded, I will put them up for auction on ebay.

    The 1804 dollar is a common reproduction seen on etsy.

    My only consideration is that not maintaining a static source of the evolution of rules, only limits future participants, or past participants who have not seen the occasional posting of a rule exception.

    I would recommend adding the rule "Gold is "wild", so the next post may be of any gold coin." to the initial thread post. For example; 1886 Morgan Dollar 1886 Liberty Head Half Eage 1903 Liberty Head Eagle To keep everyone properly informed, and to keep the challenge fair for all participants, I would highly recommend posting any additional rules to the initial thread post.

    Very cool! <through>

    Here is the 1st example that I came upon on etsy, for $19.95.

    Rather than considering to sell to a dealer , I would recommend an ebay auction.

    Here is a PGCS XF40 example, but counterfeiters have become very adept. The fact that your coin is of a decent grade (XF?) makes it questionable, as even PCGS does not have a high grade coin. I am not tryng to be critical, but there are many stores on etsy that specialize in counterfeit coins and I have seen a number of feedback from coin dealers who said they should have looked at the description closer.

    Very nice coin. Right off hand, I would give it a grade of XF+ Here is an example rated MS67 Market value of an 1879 Morgan dollar coin at a rating of XF is approximately $50.

    Quite an interesting collection.
