Hey all! I have an 1888-O Hot Lips that appears to be a Late Die State specimen. Does anyone know if the LDS' are particularly scarce? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yep, Hot Lips there indeed
Not really sure if this is a late die state but would want to know if there are various things to look for to confirm if a LDS.

I too have a Hot Lips Morgan in G-6 condition, so not as nice as yours...

I'm guessing a late MDS to early LDS. You have one rim Cud at about 7 O'clock, the LDS show multiple rim Cuds. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
