[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1709695, member: 27832"]After quite a bit more searching, I turned up this one: [ATTACH]262642.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]262641.vB[/ATTACH] Had to stare pretty hard before I was sure that it was really a 24D, but it's pretty definite in-hand. The VERY LAST coin in the bottom of the bag was this hideous green lump: [ATTACH]262643.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]262644.vB[/ATTACH] So much verdigris on the obverse, I could barely see that there [I]was[/I] a date. I didn't even really want to pick it up; it looked like just about the worst of the bag. But I figured I'd try oblique light on it, and here's what I found: [ATTACH]262645.vB[/ATTACH] Alas, I found no SVDB or 14-D -- at least not in [I]this[/I] batch. :) I can't imagine where this batch came from; I mean, it came from a seller who claims to represent a pawn-shop, but how did [I]this[/I] set of culls fall in with a bunch of dateless Buffalos, bent IHCs and rusted-out steelies? In any event, I've also now obtained my first bottle of Verdi-Care, and I think this 31-S will be my star patient -- AFTER I practice on a number of commons.[/QUOTE]
