Whaaat?:eek: You mean people actually collect them for their history?! And here I thought they were special cause some Johnny Reb dropped the die...
No problem. F-12 and VF-20 was my first reaction but I like to give a little room for error just is case im way off or something.
The second pic is better. I think I would stick with my original grades. How does the right one compare to your PCGS one?
Well define rare? There are quite a few of weak D's and even no D die pair 2's out there. If you are asking if they hold a premium? Yes usually....
