    There's quite a few different types of the variety this on variety. Ron Popes book dedicates a chapter on the variety.

    The 'mask' is not evident to me... I will study it more.... and look at some reference material. Not disputing the designation, just me... Cheers, RickO

    I had one in an NGC holder. PCGS would not cross at any grade. It got refuted right here. Sold it at a loss eventually. Somebody got it for "less", thanks to the experts. I see PCGS is now recognizing them. Pity, really. Up until then, I thought I could see.

    Crazy about overdates.
