<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barberian, post: 26654570, member: 24442&quot;]I bought a coin this year that has planchet lines, die lines, and some random hairlines.&nbsp; It&#039;s very interesting to look at and differentiate the cause of the different lines on the coin.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the coin also has dark toning on the obverse unless under direct, axial lighting, and these lines are barely visible in the only photos taken of it. This was the first uncirculated SLH I&#039;ve purchased and I did so because it is top example known for this rare DM. One can see the planchet lines going across Liberty&#039;s upper torso and neck.&nbsp; Here&#039;s Gerry Fortin&#039;s description of the coin where he notes the obverse planchet lines.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Mircro S, Weird &quot;F&quot;, Rare R7 Variety, Near-Gem Original, Mirrored Fields, Sooner Collection..</b> It is not often that GFRC has the opportunity to handle an R7 Micro S Liberty Seated half and I&#039;m most thrilled to be offering this Sooner Collection specimen. This near-gem example features mirrored fields on both sides as a starting point. Under a bright light, the copper-rose obverse patina melts away to expose light rose shades while the reverse is entirely untoned. Strike is completely executed with faint roller lines noted across the upper obverse. Bugert has named the WB-6 Micro S as the &quot;Weird F&quot; variety due to a long die scratch through HAL(F). A thoroughly pleasing specimen that is guaranteed to please. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. Immediately sold upon being showcased in the Daily Blog.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yup.&nbsp; I pounced on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>1877-S WB-6 &quot;weird F&quot; (R7) NGC MS64 1/0</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1700507[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a bit off topic, but I pounced on its stepsister, the WB-40 &quot;weird F&quot; (R7) a few months later in a SB auction where it was inaccurately described as an &quot;Unlisted attribution.&quot; It was described in 2015 in one of BB&#039;s addenda to his S-mint registry of DMs. They are easy to differentiate by their date positions; the WB-40 date is significantly further to the right than on the WB-6.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PCGS MS61 1877-S WB-40 &quot;weird F&quot; (R7) 1/2</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1700514[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently picked another WB-6 off of eBay (my first coin for 2026).&nbsp; Unfortunately, this colorful coin has a scratch across the obverse that will likely prevent it from straight grading.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>(Seller&#039;s photo)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1700515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
