    Yes, small letter variety....VF-something, and an original coin with the typical circulation marks, etc. Not bad at all...

    Thanks everyone... I was looking at the weakness on the obverse at "STATES"... struck through or wear? I'm thinking weakness in strike...

    All the Best... L

    VF details, numerous small rim imperfections.

    I agree with weak strike ikenefic.


    Now if only I could attribute the mark on the obverse of my '58 SL to a strike-through I'd be happy.
    I'm pretty sure it's post mint and I screwed up buying this one.
