1864 MPD Indian - Can U attribute it?

Gonfunko

I got this a while ago. PCI slabbed it as an MPD, and I agree, only I can't find anything resembling it in the Cherrypicker's Guide, Breen, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the slight chance that it's a new discovery, any sugestions as to the proper course of action would be welcome. Follow the link for a large picture.

Looks like a die chip to me. It's not a listed variety. It is a With L or No L?
Also it has what appears to be dirt. or is it corrosion?

I once had a variety that was proported to be a MPD. It was initially listed as such and later when I saw the coin it turned out that there was a lot of dirt on the coin. I asked the owner if I could put "blue ribbon" on it to remove the crud, and the MPD went away with the dirt.

Checked Rick Snow's new attribution guide and couldn't find any MPDs for 1864 listed.

Send Rick an email with the picture attached. Rick@Indiancent.com


Here's a link to the Eagle Eye website.


Maybe Shylock will see this thread. He has a couple of great MPD IHCs.


Edited to add: Looks like Rick beat me to the punch. Thought of suggesting a die gouge myself.

Oh, by the way, Welcome. I don't have anything to add to all of this because you've already heard from an expert on IHC's.

It does have light corrosion - what PCI termed "environmental damage." I'm sure the protrusion is metal, although I hadn't thought about a die chip as was mentioned. I'll send the picture too. Thanks!
