Value and Population

 

Reported by: Bill Erdakos

Comments: FS-501.  A recent re-evaluation of this variety indicated that the underlying mintmark was not a D as previously thought but an inverted S.  While not an OMM as originally thought, it is the only inverted S RPM known and still a scarce and very desirable variety.
