Hello all. Thought the LMC fans would like this pic. This is the best I could do with my android. Picture is slightly misleading in that the doubling is not round and soft but sharp and knife like. It resembles the tip of a double edged sword. Be very cautious buying an uncertified example I have seen a doubled ear on the bay and it matches somewhat but under close examination is a soft rounded tear drop die chip.
This coin displays such sharp razor type doubling that there is nothing in my collection to compare with. Just a weird variety in my opinion. I will be sending it to John Wexler so he may study,photograph,and add it to his files.
The coin looks unimpressive in photo but in hand its a Whoa! freaky man freaky.
Enjoy all.

Crazybo what's up? Did ya hit the Veterans parade in KCMO? Now don't get hurtin my feelings talking bad about my coin only I could do that (since I paid a gazzilion dollars for it) and I mean a gazzilion $1,350.00 after buyers fee. At first WHEN I opened it I said out loud to myself "Ghhaaad , what a Lemon I'm stuck with" I put it in the draw and thought pooie boo. Looked at it again a day later with an opened mind and finally saw the reason its so dang different. The doubling looks exactly like a sword tip if looking from above.The center of the doubling crowns the middle with dramatic downward sloping on either side. Its bound to spark opinions as to the full spectrum of value, rarity, uniqueness, diserability, degree of doubling etc. and rightly so. Pics really don't bring this thing out, maybe someone from the show me state put voodoo on it. Ha Crazybo I hope the heck this thing ain't no die chip. John Wexler will know I'm mailing it to him. Until then beat the coin up, with no ill will taken by me :)

Missouri? Could they handle the Jawhawkes in Lawrence to a packed house? No way Jose Crazybo you better move back to Kansas :)

Ya I know. It looks like an old regular 63 RB everything strong and clear but just thrown around in circulation. I'm sure Mr.Wexler will get some good ones taken and available for all. I was starving and cutting back saving for a 1992 Close AM in AU I might try pouncing on. The money burned a hole in my pocket when I saw this one, I honestly felt I might not get another crack at one. Little is written about it other than brief writings here and there. I'm always stirring up trouble and now that I can feebly load pics I will bust out the 5 1966 F'S-101's I have hoarded. Man don't get me started on them delectable delicacies.
Moderators, sorry. I will control myself I promise.
