    I'll second that. Looks like a strong reverse?

    One thing's for sure - it's definitely not a weak reverse!

    I like the second "2" in the date. Nice die pair #2 IMO. Of course, it'd be even more amazing if it were a nickel, dime, quarter or half imageimage

    What's a junk box 3?

    And where do you find one?

    "junk box 3 for a buck" = (junk box) + (3 for a buck)

    "And where do you find one?"

    He definitely sucks.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Pretty amazing! Especially considering that someone had to have inserted the coin into a 2 x 2 and spent time looking at what the coin is to get it stapled in. Must have been done by a clerk who was not numismatically astute.....

    Good grief, that's a nice pick. Congrats, and I can't wait to see what our hosts think of it (I'll go with a SWAG of VF35 based on the reverse).

    Big time you suck...meanwhile, some dealer is still scratching his or her head wondering where they placed that 1922 plain cent.

    Nice and definitely a strong reverse. Should come back around 35 unless those scratches on the front keep it from grading. Either way that is an awesome pick for a junk boximage
    All the best,
