I won this one at auction. These are rare in ms state as you guys know and I think I got a nice raw example of one. These are the sellers pics. I won't have the coin in hand until I get back home on Sunday.   |

Need better photos , reverse is very blurry to tell anything . Don't blow them up so much and try to get coin's color correct . Obverse is red reverse looks brown .  |

Right - reverse is impossible to see what's going on to grade. Why not take the picture straight on like you did the obverse?

@ coinfrog I think you meant something other than faith. Lol. We'll see when I get it. Like I said the pics are higher resolution for me on the ebay app. |

Very nice example of one of the toughest issues in the series. I was a little sad the reverse wasn't an earlier die state - those are especially rare as the SF mint was way over-using the reverse dies due to poor supply from Philly.
The obverse picture is great, why did he mess up the reverse so bad?

Hard to tell what you are going to get from these photos.

This one paid off looks like a 62 RB to me!   |

Any chance we could see it outside of the plastic?

Tough to tell, I think I see some signs of circulation. I don't like the obverse fields. The coin looks nothing like the first photos. The reverse devices are pretty beat-up. Nonetheless, I pretty good strike for the issue.

Yea it does have some nicks on the reverse. I'll take it out and get some better pics of it in a couple hours.

A little wear but I really like it. It is getting close to 100 years old. It looks very nice.

  @ mamastinky the reverse on this coin is older than the obverse. Very common that year. That's why it looks flattened. I think crazybo taught me that one. Also I see bad Thad pointed that out. The holder was kinda dirty, looks better without. Thanks guys I've got some more nice varieties coming! Edited by Willburton
