    Picked it up this morning for $49. Very nice coin. Looks a lot better out of the 2x2 than it did in it.
    Let me know what you think! :)
    Thanks,
    Tyler
    P.S. I'll try to get some pics of the edge lettering later. Fixin to go to work and don't have time.

    Yeah, I thought the price was excellent. I love it. :) However I wish there was a way to get those black spots off the back. :/
    I think it was dipped but its been a while because there is a *slight* amount of toning on it (at or nt idk). I thought it had been brushed clean but when I took it out of the 2x2 I figured out the lines were just on the 2x2. I figure its an XF-40 or maybe 45 (if I'm lucky).

    Can anyone Overton this one?

    I can't.

    The polishing of the die at the bust's drapery is throwing me.

    Treas, I like this one for O-113a an R2. A 3 being the only filled A is what really pushed me in that direction, that and the right sides of the I and T being in line. Now I can't see it in the pictures but the third line of stripe 1 should extend up to crossbar 2. If that is there it is settled.

    The A looks filed, but!

    The drapery to the left at about 7 o'clock looks polished.
