Message:: [QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2506825, member: 43130"]It's been hairlined to death, so I went ahead and dipped it as well. Amazingly, despite the "Brillo pad" treatment someone gave her, she still has luster. Mailed her off to NGC today in hopes of an UNC details Cleaned grade. To the left of the "5" on the reverse, you can see the curve of a "0" digit. (You should still be able to see it through the marks and somewhat blurry close-up). This is a pretty rare variety, though not really a popular one. It's most easily identified by the date. The "836" is smashed together closely while the "1" is floating off to the left. FYI, if you ever find a O-116a, then you have a Rarity 6 on your hands! The reverse die was lapped and the "0" was removed. But in the process, they separated the olive branch and berry from the stem. Happy hunting![ATTACH=full]532638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532639[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
