    Wow! That's a practically flawless example of a great design, and I love darkly toned coins like that. Good luck finding it again.

    I also added this "gem." Very ugly and very scarce. It just needs a dip. ;)
    I purchased it because, well, I wanted one, and it illustrates how the WB-5 and WB-2 can be separated by arrow position at low grades - right arrow even with tops of digits (WB-2) versus right arrow clearly positioned below the tops of the digits (WB-5). Otherwise, this example is too worn to be identifiable using BB's diagnostic character states.

    Here's one that got away from me when someone hit the BIN button while I tried negotiating a lower price with the seller. I was upset about losing it for a day. This coin shows the up-pointed arrows and the top edge of the right arrow lower than the digits = WB-5
