Dip it.
Said stake has been driven.
I checked Heritage Chris. And the 63's they've got look nicer than this one. Lowest I saw was $437 in the past few months.
It really does happen all the time. Partial or even whole letters and numbers can be pushed to one side or the other.
If you look back, I thought that's probably what it was before he even posted the picture. But once he did, that all changed. Look at the size...

The first two are damaged and would be considered ungradeable. The cent, may be AU or MS, need to see the other side.
No, it isn't. It's a book that Bowers titled the Red Book. And the number is wrong ! But don't take my word for it, go look it up yourself. The...
