Was offered a cool coin this week and am buying it. The registry lists the 1865 plain 5 as a variety. I find it fun to have varieties of the varieties for that set. This is one, the plain 5 S2 which features a misplaced RPD (large arrow, the top of a 1 along the margin of the 8) and multiple MPD's in the denticles (tiny arrows). The tops of the 1 and 5 are most prominent (first and last tiny arrow) while there are probably multiple impressions from the tops of the 8 and 6 (middle tiny arrows). There are other neat features of this coin away from the date.

Thanks to Eagle Eye Rare coins/Rick Snow for selling me this coin....it only took me 6 months to decide!
