Looking through the online population reports, I came upon a listing for a Libertas Americana graded MS65RD. Has anyone seen any images of this?

it really seems like it has been posted here in the past year, probably sooner. (maybe from cro, maybe not?) i'll wade through the trenches of my vastly disorganized main image folder to see if i can hope to stumble across what i am thinking of. sounds easier than searching the forum archives right now. a lot less typing and clicking. ><
well turns out my dbase isn't as disorganized as i thought but i turned up nada on any red unc L.A. medals.

I am not aware of such a specimen.
It seems extreeeeemly unlikely. I would bet it is a typo in the pop report.
But I agree it's most likely a typo, and I can't seem to find the listing for a Red example in the population report or on Coinfacts…do you have a link?
Edited to say that I think the piece is only barely "RD", but it could easily have graded higher.

Must be an amazing piece. I've thought about Numismatists being around in England before we produced our first coin here in the U.S.. It's the same feeling you get when you visit Europe and realize how
new our society and architecture is here.
Can someone educate me on the significance of the Libertas medal? Why was it produced? For what reason? US Mint? Thanks
Or can it be confirmed in the Pops?

i am seriously wondering if the pops for these types of high-end numismatic items are reliable enough to use. i've seen many coins "kept" out of the pops and/or they were sent ATS and then back to pcgs again. the 1913 lib 5c are a pretty good example of this.
then there is that ms68rd 1c v&b that is not in the pops but is confirmed as being in a pcgs holder?

Well, as the day winds down on April 1st, I should clear up a few things.
I was the one that submitted the piece at the PCGS Las Vegas Invitational Show in February, and I have been watching for its appearance in the Pop Reports to show up. It does now appear, both in the Pop Reports and on PCGSCoinFacts. I have it back now and in hand, and I could not be more pleased!
While not a 1783 original bronze striking, it is really quite striking in its own right.
Well played, sir. Well played.
(... and quite a nice piece to boot!)
Kidding aside, I recall a red brown Libertas Americana medal in the numismatic exhibit in the Federal Reserve Bank in Manhattan, but they closed that display in 2012.

And nice April Fools joke, but now I'm curious to see the specimen MrEureka mentioned!
Me too!

While you waiting there's a large Pool Table on the reverse.

It's been TrueView'd so you can look up the cert.

I assumed this was a euphemism for something. I was wrong.

Here you go:
Looking forward to seeing the pool table reverse
