Minor apology for the shadow - there just doesn't seem to be enough direct light on the planet to light the edge of the repurposed tire sidewall gasket.

No, the pictured grade is not 70.

You-Vs.-MMns-!?!? and You-Vs.-MMns-!?!?

I'm thinking VF-20...

MMNS= MS-71 Okay then, they probably graded it in the VF range. Then again, I know nothing about this company.

Actually, MY grade is VF-35. There are several places where the wear pattern is XF (two of the five star point lines are still present on the obverse and only the bottom of the two bars on the reverse shows wear).

You-Vs.-MMns-!?!? You-Vs.-MMns-!?!?

The only place there's more wear is the shield around 9 o'clock and type 3s are notorious for weak strikes, ESPECIALLY in the indent of the star around 7 o'clock on the obverse.


But that's irrelevant.


The show you all paid to see :


You-Vs.-MMns-!?!?




I bought it for my lowball slabbed collection of 3cs. So now I have to decide if I break it out and treat it as a legit member of the tribe instead...

OK, that's enough for me to put these people on the same list with the old green 10-digit PCI slabs.
