@Jzyskowski1 I’ve always loved that scd. I think there are 2 versions of this one but, can’t remember if I have one of each….lol The only difference is large letters and small letters.

Can’t see the reverse but are you going to be ok with 65-66. The obverse has multiple problems.
I would not attempt a cross over unless a couple points down is cool. I understand wanting a certain slab , sometimes it’s better to sell and replace. I would be curious to see both sides. Take your time and get a good one of each side.
I’m learning to grade and also getting some good natured humor for missing by a mile on guess the grades. 😉🙀🦫
Well I got this in the mail today. Not sure who put these set together but all of the coins look great. You can tell that someone had a passion for this series. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.
Snagged this one on eBay a few days ago for just $9, a very nice cello packaging toned proof. Looks like a solid PR66BN to me, if it looks good enough in hand I might send it to PCGS to try to get the difficult PR67BN grade.

If you can't upload a picture, check your phone settings, your account settings, ask your question on the Q & A Forum, search for an answer on the Q & A Forum.
You should have two options where one option, as you state, is URL (for Photobucket, etc.) but the other option should allow you to upload an image if you are an "authorized" user via "Choose Files":

Not in great shape, but, hey, it was 50 cents at a flea market. International Coin Catalogue and Price List by Robert Friedberg, 4th edition, 1955. This copy made for Gimbel's department store in Philadelphia. I also like it because, while I never saw the Gimbels store before it was demolished, I worked in the Gimbels annex, which had been converted to an office building, for 12 years.
A better find was a worn but serviceable copy of the 4th edition of the Red Book, 1951-52, also for only 50 cents.
I feel confident in saying that I suspect even most serious VAM collectors do not know how rare this coin is, which is why I feel incredibly lucky to have one – even a problem one.
The total straight-graded population at PCGS is just 7, which is a huge problem for the 70 people who are participating in the Morgan "Super Set" Registry which requires this coin – especially since I'm pretty sure that one collector has three of them.
This is one of only two problem coins I have ever knowingly bought in 28 years of Morgan collecting. It was also the only opportunity I've ever had to get one, and I don't expect I'll ever get another.

The guys tell me they tried for one of these
But found this one. I’m happy as they noticed the first time I saw it, on to the want list but more of a dream list 😉🙀🦫

@Jzyskowski1 I think what you posted is mostly surface scratches on the holder, I think it's probably 67. I'll let you know in 3-4 months.
she's a little lower grade then I might have liked for the type set, but her eye appeal more then makes up for the grade

I finally scored a "Smoker Token" of my own, but it's not a Levick. This one I can actually afford.
Minted by die sinker Greenduck Co. of Chicago circa 1920's I believe.
I love the motto on the reverse.
