<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1502534, member: 6641&quot;]I have been hoping to pick up a Specimen for some time (a couple years).&nbsp; I periodically look at the auctions on ebay and watch the prices on those I am interested in.&nbsp; This beauty came up last week along with a couple others from the same seller.&nbsp; The one I missed out on was a 2nd issue wide margin five cent removed from a shield.&nbsp; It graded AU and was noted as glue residue.&nbsp; The wide margin notes are harder to find at a decent price. I really went after this note just because of condition and centering really caught my eye.&nbsp; I won this by $3 with 3 seconds to go.&nbsp; The other late bidder doesn&#039;t know how close they came to winning.&nbsp; The price doubled with those last two bids but I feel I still picked it up at a very reasonable price.&nbsp; Hope you like it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any guesses on how this graded?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/fr1254spmnb3rdissue10cent2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/fr1254spmnb3rdissue10centrev2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
