1973 S Nickel Proof RPM-001

#1 Unread post by jvineyard »

Hi again everyone,

Back again with another wacky variety. So I have a 1973 S Nickel Proof in the original packaging that is definitely the RPM-001 (see pictures below) from variety vista. My problem is there is no auction history for this variety on eBay, Stacks, Heritage, GC, or anywhere else I can find it. It really doesn't feel like a minor variety because the RPM itself is a King Kong RPM. The Nickel itself is in great condition. Maybe somewhere be MS 66 to 68 Proof. What is the value of this thing? Are they just so common that no one even bothers to look and post them? Any advice is welcome as always.

Thanks!

Jared

Doesn't matter how the RPM looks like but demand is what drives the values on these and there's not a huge demand for this one. So start with the grade as far as value is concerned and always check coinfacts.com they often have some listed and with values.
