Happy New Year!

Figured I'd post the first variety I found after midnight's festivities. Turns out it's a nice Cherrypicker variety on a coin that should go at least EF. I just posted one of these in a very high grade I bought recently, so a bit redundant, but I don't get to pick what gets found first.

Fantastic example! I mentioned on your earlier thread that I have NO idea what the mm puncher was thinking in 1956. That year has some of the craziest RPMs. (At least he whacked the first mm on the correct side of the obverse die!)

Nice variety there TB. Haven't come across one yet myself.
(And that MS66 by Collector1983 is killer.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

You are lucky! That's amazing. I've looked everywhere for one of those and I haven't found one.
