Yep. This is the first one I bought raw & the only reason I got it is the low placeholder bid I placed won. Debating returning it for my money...
Sure. Are there any particular design elements you'd like to see under magnification? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Something odd going on with the mintmark as well. There is an S/CC variety listed in the Cherrypicker's guide, but it doesn't look like this. This...

Ms64+ When was this slabbed? Older holders can add a wild card to GTG, & I disagree with Lehigh96 - the standards have definitely changed a bit...

Time for another bump. Does anyone else have a 1922 with a long ray?
Was that a training base or staging point? I can't find any city or other locale by that name.
At what point do you expect to see a split grade instead of a net grade? If the reverse has cabinet wear to the VF30 level & the obverse is...
I like the Sheldon scale, but I think it's only a matter of time until a broader 100 point scale is adopted. Not only is a rating system out of 70...
Separate names with a comma.
