repunched MM on a 1936 San Diego. Looks very similar if not identical to this one

It's in a rattler, too, if that makes a difference image

    I don't know about the mint mark, but that is one

    mighty fine looking MS-64. The luster is just a real

    monster. Well done indeed.

    Thanks, Bear. It's about as "dripping with luster" as I've ever seen a coin in my 30+ years of collecting.

    I don't know about the variety's value either, but it sure is cool. And if the reverse looks as good as the obverse I think it could upgrade to an MS65. Nice coin!

    Thanks, guys. She really does look like she was coined from pure mercury in hand. It's trippy. image

    that would be a messy strike, and probably violate OSHA compliance for the mint workers.

    Great strike there.

    It's listed in the CPG but they're not showing that it carries a premium. I would think it would in the open market though

    It's listed as RPM-001 in the 'Authoritative Reference on Commemorative Coins 1892- 1954'.
    It can be paired with a DDO-001/RPM-001 also.

    Really nice coin, probably came from one of the original rolls that used to be around. I have never seen these offered by variety and there's probably no premium for this repunched MM.

    I don't think there is a premium for the repunched mm. Nice looking coin though. I'm not sure what it is about San Diego Commems but they can be some of the most lusterous coins around.

    Sure looks to have the DDO, too. Quintuple doubling on "LIBERTY", most clearly seen on the top of the bottom loop of the "B", the bottom of the "E" "R" and the arch of the "R".
    Here's my coin:

    And the DDO discovery coin:

    I agree, if the reverse is as nice, I would even say send it back in for a 65...

    I collect circ silver commems, but that is one amazing lusterous MS coin! Incredible strike too!
    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    Here's the reverse:

    The PCGS Price Guige lists it at:

    $145 in MS-64 and
    $175 in MS-65

    Leave well enough alone, It is a beautiful old Rattler Holdered coin.
    They are collectibles by themselves.

    I agree, leave it alone in the holder and don't even THINK of selling it for less than somewhere between an MS66 to MS67 price. If you went to PCGS, I think you'd get and MS66 and NGC would, easily give you an MS66 Star and maybe a 67.
