    My Cherrypickers Guide says:
    "This is by far the most visible doubled die in the 2c series. The weaker image is shifted stongly to the west on the entire motto." The picture shows that this is easy to see.

    Comments in CPG: "This variety is not considered as rare as we previously thought, except in mint state, but interest remains high. Known with three different reverse dies, common with a rotated reverse."

    My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!

  • Give your eyes a rest, it is one of the visible-with-the-naked-eye kind, and real cool under low magnification.

    Thanks, Cameo & Pharmer. Welp, it's a DUD...A plain old 67 in AU.image
