It has led a hard life because it's in worse shape than most SBA dollars are. Report this Post to the Staff

Coindog Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 7:52 pm Yep thats a proof. Can't really tell from the pictures whether it's a type one or type two. Tentatively I'm going to say type two. Cool find either way. Edited by Coindog 10/17/2014 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 8:10 pm If a type 2 got spent, that would be sad. Hope it is a type 1. I still need both type twos and the near date for my set. Report this Post to the Staff
