Zee, that was a trick question that put some PRESSURE on us to find the answer. I for one was very IMPRESSED with your explanation.

Yeah, it was a bit tricky, but I didn't mean it as such.....I like to challenge myth whenever the opportunity arises. I will try to refrain myself in the future.

And NO, I will NOT be Larry.

Okay, I probably do have the longest hair out of the three of us anyway. (No pokes in the eye or nose punching though please).

Interesting contrast between the stars on your 122 and mine, echizento. It illustrates just how far they pushed the dies during their striking life.

Edit: However, looking at the zero in the date, I'm not sure of my attribution any more. Lemme dig deeper.

Dave, I think the difference is that mine is an earlier state and the die had less wear.

Dave and Echi, both of your coins are O-122....I think that Echi's 'O' looks funny because he has some PMD going on (on the right side of the O, pushing it up at top and bottom). 'Your' coin is the late die state Echi, as evidenced by the drawn stars (drawn to the edge of the coin, indicating die wear). Dave's coin is the EDS.

Yours is O-110 (R-2) slaufman.....I don't know how to grade coins, but I can tell you this, your coin is a pretty nice example of this variety. What may look like circulation wear (especially on the reverse on the banner and the 0 in 50 C.) is die related, and not from being a worn coin.
