I cherry picked this variety on ebay a few days ago. It just arrived today. Here is the ebay link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26231293498...RK:MEBIDX:IT

The strike on this one is exceptionally weak on the obverse, especially in the neck area of Lady Liberty. Bowers states in his book that the strike for this issue/variety does range from weak to sharp. So, I got this one on the weak side, but it was fun finding it in the wild, unattributed by the seller.

Ain't that the truth! As soon as I saw it I checked ebay prices for active and completed sales. This one was the cheapest except for a handful that were in lower grades. I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps I've caught a touch of the VAM bug.

I know, right? I was curiously surprised by that. Can you post a pic of your lowball in progress?
