That is a very nice upgrade, the artistry of the engraver is impressive.

Yikes, that looks good enough to be a plate coin. Well done @marti!

Very nice .
Additionally you have now 'graduated' to RIC 54 from RIC 38
Admittedly a minor difference .
But of the sort that seemed to always thwart my honest efforts at upgrades
All to often I would end up owning a pair !

RIC 54 is by far the more desirable to me as it dates to his final year . when he was 'out there'
Way way out there !

Hey Fvrivs, yeah I didn't even notice it was RIC 54 until it arrived and I was cataloging it. The seller incorrectly had it marked as RIC 38.

I will be selling the old one in any case.
