Sometimes it's better not to guess. ;)
BB 55 40 3b (looks like a liner 58/63) 6r
I think they are neat!
Looking at the coin again, I wonder if it didn't grade 7. Hmmm....
One more think, before I forget about it. I have a remarkably similar story to share, and I alluded to the coin in an earlier post above... I...
