Variety collectors will pay a small premium over regular price.

I like varieties, so it will get slabbed/attributed and tucked away in my collection.

LCS source. Put it in my safe a few months ago with all the other goodies I got (visited four shops that day). Didn't note the extra until under my grading lamp. I was just looking for a red IHC from the 1800s and had enough cash on hand to grab this one.

@sumdunce .... That is great... Especially when you get something special you had not noticed initially. Cheers, RickO

@sumdunce that's the way to do it. A thorough examination pays big dividends. Nice. Peace Roy
