Dear cf,

CNG sold it as L KA year 21, but it's L-K year 20


Reference.
RPC III, -- Emmett 977.20 (Unlisted year)

Issue L K = year 20

It certainly looks like KA to me.  But if you're sure it's just a K, I suggest you submit it to the RPC project online.

Dear Mark and cf,

With coin in hand and a magnifying glass, I think it’s L KA, the A being a bit smaller than one would expect, (A stands on K leg)

Same with this coin.

So it’s  6177
All the Best,
Eric
