I just purchased a 1865 Two Cent piece that was in a ANACS MS62RB slab. It has a pretty obvious RPD that was unlabeled. Here is a close-up:

Can anyone tell me anything about this variety? Does it carry a premium?

Thanks in advance!

    A number of two cent pieces and Indian cents from this era have re-punched dates. I once owned an 1864-L Indian cent that had a re-punched date, and I understand that there are several varieties of them. From what I've heard, they don't bring a very large premium.

    That one is pretty common, and for a long time it was thought to be an 1865/4 overdate. If you look at the flag of the 5 you can see what could be a vertical bar of an underlying 4. I believe the overdate was disproved by Kevin Flynn using photo overlays in his book on the series.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    FS-1301, I believe, slightly scarce, but not very much premium
