See below in the thread for large reverse pics, thanks to Barndog.
GTG of this rare variety that few know exist, the 2L2L. Note the following attributes, on the obv star 8 is undefined, Lady Liberty's right index finger holding the banner appears to have a ring on it, the date is moved over to the left and there appears to be a period on the 1 in the date close to the top. And on the reverse it is a 2L while practically all others are 2M. 2L= smooth arc by feathers on the right side flowing down, where with 2M the feathers bump out. So the dies for the obv and rev are different than 99% of all the others. Quite fascinating
Sorry for the tiny reverse pic, somehow the obv pick is bigger off of HA.com but not the rev or maybe its my lack of tech skills.

And a great looking coin to boot

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Cool one. I bet it looks better in-hand than those Heritage pics, too.
Very pretty!
Agree. I expect it to look much better. I’ve found that Heritage’s photos don’t usually do well with toned silver.
PR64 or 64+?

Very nice! Congrats on the NEWP.
Looks like a 64....Thanks for the explanation of the variety and the PUP's...Cheers, RickO
Wow very nice
tech skills
WOW ... that's nice!
Excuse my ignorance, but shouldn’t the star count begin at 12:00 and thus be referenced as “star two”?
Anyway, I’m a fan of the reverse. Guessing 63/64ish.

Agreed.
