    Check out this little discovery. I had it misattributed and after triple checking the reference discovered it's in fact an O-103A (R-4 coin) with the die-cracks on the reverse. Has a couple of scratches on the obverse but according to the Bondeigger Grading Standard that certainly doesn't disqualify the coin from attribution or grading. This is a solid VF-30 taking the scratches (obv) into consideration.

    Take Care

    Those are some sweet cracks on the rev !
    I'll bet that die didn't last a whole lot longer.

    Oh, you'd be surprised. There were coins struck with dies in worse shape than this. Some show only partial lettering along the edges where portions of the die actually fell off in some cases.

    Take Care

    No, not a duplicate. I'd purchased it and simply apparently forgot to log it in...

    Oh, I've met the requirements and then some, mileage is what's constraining me now. Check out this .MPG and it will put things in perspective... Chuckle, I think I've got the page counting off a little, LOL. :D

    Actually, the color on the index cards means (nothing special) that I simply ran out of one color and had to use another, LOL...

    Thanks for looking
