Well I snagged this one of the bay tonight. These are actually really scarce, I literally have no idea how I keep finding them. Though I have a feeling by posting the fact that I'm finding them I'm just creating more competition for myself lol.

Now there's pretty good chance I would have passed on this, and I actually did, for like, a month, because I didn't realize it was it. I decided to go back through every listing and double check my work and this time I went off die markers instead of visually looking at the mint mark, which is how I ended up catching this one.

The seller said it's Unc, I'm not sure, it's either High AU or Unc but either way in need of a dip because as is it's pretty ugly.

Okay this is silly. I just got a fourth, though it's low AU/high EF instead of MS but hey, I'll take it.

Congrats on the run of varieties.

I see why you plan to dip it. That seller has a much different idea of "rainbow" toning than I do!
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I just think he couldn't capture it in the picture. Toning is very hard to capture the way you see it in hand.

Grape, is there a page or something to see markers?.

This one looks like MMS-003 to me, serifs look off, but I'm not too familiar with this variety. I hope I'm wrong.
