Pardon the crap photos; I don't think the seller had much in the way of basic photography skills.

Picked this one up on eBay last night. I've been looking for an eye-appealing 38-O for quite some time that didn't break the bank or looked like a piece of numismatic roadkill.

    I'll be sure to provide some photos of my own once it arrives. That said, I'm not the best photographer, but I'm much better than the seller.

    Same. I absolutely love the "circulation cameo" look.

    @EagleScout2017 .... Looks like a nice coin... The circam look on old coins is appealing. Well done from one Eagle Scout to another. Cheers, RickO

  • It arrived a few hours ago. Based on my examination of the coin, I believe it to be an example of variety 101 with a repunched mintmark.

    No numismatic roadkill there, sir! Nice circ-cam look. I really like that look on older circulated coins. Nice find!

    I like the way that looks, nice and crusty. You won it last night or it came in today, you lost me on that one?
