    L and C coins specializes in RPM's. You might check their web site to see if they have one for sale... might give you an idea of what it's worth. They also might be interested in buying it. ...no clue.

    Nice score,
    David

    I don't believe PCGS will recognize the variety. I could be wrong on that. What I do know about them is that they are quite common. I have five of them, three are BU from a roll and the others were found in mixed circ coins. OMM#1 for that date is far more difficult to find.

    I would figure OMM#2 to be between a $50 and $75 coin in GEM grades.

    PCGS will recognize the coin on the label but it will not be listed as a coin number or in the population report. PCGS will recognize any coin listed in Cherrypickers on the label. If the coin is not listed in cherrypickers or specifically as a "recognized" variety already in the POP report PCGS would not put it on the label but you are safe on this one.

    If you submit it to PCGS you need to send it in as a "Variety" and be sure to note it in bold on the form. I have had them neglect to recognize coins and had to send them back.

    Good luck.

    "Does PCGS mark this OMM#2 on their slab when they grade them?"

    Yes, if you submit it under the "mint error" service.
  • I guess mint error service would cost more? mm ill just sell one of them on Ebay this weekend and the other one that looks MS66 send it in to get graded. thanks guys
