1892 Liberty V Nickel - Unlisted RPD

zrnumismatics

Hi all,
I purchased this AU 1892 Liberty V nickel. I looked at it under a loupe and it seems to be an RPD, but I don't see any listed.
Is this a newly discovered variety?

Listed where? Cherrypicker's Guide, for example, is not a complete listing of all known varieties. Kevin Flynn's book on Liberty nickels would be a good place to check.

@ifthevamzarockin Out of curiosity, where was it listed?

@zrnumismatics.... Nice catch.... Will you have it slabbed? Be sure the TPG will list/recognize the variety before submitting. Cheers, RickO

I'm not planning on having it slabbed - given that it is not recognized by either PCGS or NGC. It also wouldn't be very expensive either way given it's AU.
This one sold for $219:

This is listed in Kevin Flynn's "Treasure Hunting Liberty Head Nickels" as the above variety.
