<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2856218, member: 1892"]Learn that; the real "sleeper" slabs are the ones with that Futura-family typeface using perfectly round letters and slab-sided zeros. The coin here - I looked at it in-hand at Gettysburg shortly after Paddy bought it - is quite deserving of the grade and FB designation. The toughest part of the bands on this example is the center band on the left, and in the last image he posted yesterday, that spot is where the highlight on the image is the brightest. Even almost washed out, the band separation is clear. It was nicely bought. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
