Of course I&#039;m now the proud owner since I picked it up for about a Fr2 price and I think it will do better from what I can see. While I can&#039;t confirm attribution from the picture, it may be a very scarce S-23 rather than the common S-24. I&#039;m hoping much of the discoloration is dirt, rather than corrosion, but a nice lettered edge for under $70 takes practically all the risk out of the equation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I out picked another last minute picker who cost me about $10, but I&#039;ve learned a few things since this past winter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, that&#039;s the second bargain in two days I couldn&#039;t pass up, even though I&#039;m in the red for a while. I picked up another S-235 (R3+) which looked to have nice surfaces except for one pit in the obverse field. I had picked one up a few months ago to complete my 1802 set of collectible varieties, but it was a typical corrosion problem Fr version.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to run to the bank and figure out how to pay bills now. But after a little discomfort now, I&#039;ll be smiling for years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
