    Just picked this one up last month. It has edge lettering and a curl base 2 with knob. I don’t normally brag but the Red Book has this at $70.00 in the lowest grade. I paid a lot less and I don’t see any Bust Half for under $50.00. Wish I could have gotten more at the price I paid. I bought this in an auction. I guess my bidders were on vacation. Bragging done.

    That's a handsome piece. If you got it for under the G4 price, I'd say you did well indeed. I'd guesstimate it around F12-F15 or so.

    Thanks. I’d agree with a grade of F-12 or F-15. I paid well under $50.00.

    Sorry my friend but I paid real money using my credit card. I bought several of them at an auction in August. I think all the bidders were on vacation. Their loss is my gain. Lol

    That's not a curl base 2 with knob. That's the square base.

    I rechecked and it was auctioned as you stated but my invoice has what I said and that’s what I used. My apologies.
