    NOT the P-5360 you specifically asked about. But, a quick search revealed:
    ~ P-5340 (1964 Large Head) - PCGS #631717;
    ~ and P-5380 ((1965) Small Head) - PCGS #568803.

    PCGS 'Pop Report' Reference (Search for "Paul");
    HA Reference (Head Size Categories).

    Could simply be that no one has submitted a P-5360 yet. Regardless, I have no idea if they currently accept your specific pattern. Perhaps a call to PCGS CS would get a definitive response.

    @MsMorrisine,

    You piqued my curiosity, so I took the liberty of contacting PCGS CS myself.

    The rep I interacted with is researching the question. FWIW, having the PCGS # for a comparable seemed to help.

    When the rep responds to me via e-mail, I will share the response here.

    @oreville,

    I just noticed a potential issue. In the title of this thread, you ask about P-5360. However, in the OP you provide details for P-5350.

    Are you interested in P-5360, or P-5350?

    Both. The original heading of my OP was a typo. No one or myself noticed it for over 10 years! I finally CORRECTED it to P-5350.

    But I have all the quarter sized experimental pieces.

    What about the Dime and Half Dollar sized Paul D. Merica pieces?

    @oreville said:
    Amazing how with an entire pop of 2 how the die could be clashed.

    Presumably, most of the pieces were destroyed, so the surviving population provides no indication of the original mintage.

    Actually the pop should be 3. I saw a NGC slabbed one at Heritage Auctions about 10 or more years ago but did not like it as much as the PCGS one I bought yesterday.
