Aoraki Valued Member New Zealand 148 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 10:48 pm Agreement that this is an S-214? It's certainly not a prime example (and I won't stop looking for a better one) but it fills a hole for now. (seller's images) Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 10:55 pm I agree, and the die crack on the reverse from the stem through the (1)/100 confirms it. Report this Post to the Staff
