Is this third issue three cent essay note on your list? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Now that is really lazy on the part of the Chinese slab counterfeiters. There are many 1883-CC dollar serial codes that they could have used.

NGC called this an MS-67. [ATTACH] I would get that coin certified. The grade will probably support it, and slabs provide protection for soft...
